At K57xxx, it has to be among the very earliest K-32 Masterpieces produced. There were only a handful or two made in 1948 and the first large bunch came along in the following spring. If my notes are correct, there were not many made with numbers below K66000. I think there is a chance yours shipped in 1948.

Letter this gun!

Edit: I may not be reading the serial number correctly. Is it K57xxx or K67xxx? If the latter, it is probably a 1949 gun.
If I read the chart right, a K67XXX gun would also be 1948 gun. At least that’s where I’ve identified a couple of others based on SCSW-4. If it were one of the very first ones it probably would have a LERK, but that would be a scarcity within a rarity.
