Wow! - Gorgeous - great find
Babysitr, you did extremely well on that buy. Grips alone tell a great story by their condition. I agree that it MAY have shipped with them but only a Letter would tell. You don't often see original diamond, non-relieved K frame Targets for sale alone, at least I don't anymore.
I love that configuration on an early Masterpiece. My K22 Masterpiece Letters as shipping in 1947, however the invoice that came with the Letter, shows it described as a 1946 gun. The stocks (Magna's) are numbered to the gun, but for shooting I "cheat" and use a spare set of K frame football relieved Targets.
Whatever you do, take that gun to the range. Mine is actually smoother (to my feel) and slightly more accurate than my Model 17-3, with whatever factory 22 ammo I'm running that day.
Enjoy for sure....you are way ahead money wise.
