Welcome to the Forum. If it has the letter K in front, 1952. Hope this is helpful.

I have pre M18, 22, # K 162068 that was shipped 12-52. Yours may have been shipped in 1953. Big Larry

That is not a correct serial for a K38. The correct number will have a letter K prefix.

You should also see the serial number on the rear face of the cylinder and on the flat underside of the barrel (and a couple of other places where you almost have to disassemble the gun to see them).
As a footnote, the Combat Masterpiece was introduced in 1950, so your gun is from fairly early in its production history.
