Default Pair of 38/44 Superkings

I just recently became the new caretaker of this great Super King Target. I was very excited to get this gun as it has a few differences from my other one that I am very fond of.





It shipped directly to King gun sight company as a Heavy Duty in March of 1938. Also it shipped as a 6 1/2 inch bbl. It also has numbers matching magnas. I found it interesting they did not convert a OD. Maybe the customer wanted a smooth back strap. I intend to ask for a invoice check to see if maybe it will shed some light on that. I am in contact with a relative of the original owner.











The smooth back strap ,cockeyed hammer and red post sight are for the most part the only differences I have noticed so far.

I am very much looking forward to shooting this one as it does have some freckling on the backstrap area.
