I think you are missing the point that was made by DWalt earlier (and many other times on this forum). It is a "target revolver," yes. Its name is K-22 Masterpiece.

On the top of your gold box it says, K-22 Masterpiece.
On the end of your gold box it says, K-22 Masterpiece.
On the side of your gold box it says K-22 Masterpiece [a] Target Revolver.

Nowhere does it say K-22 Target Masterpiece. That name does not exist. It doesn't show up on the All Model Circulars, the catalogs, the price lists nor in any company advertizing. Neither is it on any boxes, gold, blue or otherwise. Somehow it got into a lot of collector books, but Jim started removing it in the SCSW 4th Edition. It isn't quite gone yet, but it's getting there.
