There is a gun shop near my home that I haven't visited for several years due to a past incident. A friend and owner of another gun shop told me that I "really should stop in an take a look at the used Smith's there. They have a gold box K-22."
I didn't stop in for over a week, then though this is stupid. Let 's see what is in the case. Several model 10's, a .38 S&W breaktop in nickel, a model 66, a model 686, a model 617-1 and a K-22 post war model in its original gold two piece box.
A quick examination revealed the K-22 to be super clean with around 90-93% of the original satin blue, a fair drag ring and nice Magna stocks. The box is about 85% -maybe a bit better.
Asked for his 'best price' and when I got the answer the old credit card went flying out of the wallet! $585 out the door.
Check it out.
