K-22/40 is finally home
Accidently posted this in the S&W Revolvers: 1961 to 1980 forum and since it turned into a waiting period thread, I moved it to the proper forum. Hope that's OK. Happy Father's Day dads!
After a couple of financial and logistical obstacles I was able to procure k-22/40 # 6843XX. Looks better than the 60% that was claimed and everything match's, although the magna's are not numbered which I'm told is not unusual. Since I won't be able to take good pix 'til I bring her home in about a week, hope you all won't mind seeing some crummy phone pictures.
edit 6/25/14....... AFTER PICTURES IN POST #4

If that finish is 60%, I must have some 120% guns in my safe. Anyway, that is one nice revolver. Congratulations.

Nice catch on your gun. At least the stocks are period correct, Larry

She's now home and after some cleaning and waxing I think she looks a little nicer than the claimed 60-70%.

You must be waxing with blue shoe polish if that gun was 60% before! 
That's a nice one!

I haven't given up looking for one of these in a condition I can afford (which would probably be somewhere about 60%), but I have just about given up hope. Too much money. Too many buyers way better educated in what it takes to chase one down.
That's a very pretty one and you did very well finding it.

That's a great specimen of a hard-to-find model. Congratulations!

Don't give up hardscrabble! Although I don't think I've seen a picture of a less than 80% example, there has to be some since there was a little over 1,000 made.
Found this one in what I'll call a "dead thread" in a local forum after doing a search for "K-22". It was advertised as a 60% k-22 with a rather high sale price and no pictures, so it was easily overlooked. After some negotiating and logistical work, I was finally able to secure it.
