Default 1930's Accessories

Can anyone tell me what accessories normally came with S&W revolvers in the 1930's? I have a mid-30's K-22 Outdoorsman with the box and the SAT, but nothing else. Was there anything else normally included?

Thanks.

There would have also been a Helpful Hints brochure, a cleaning brush and a cleaning cotton swab. The swab and brush were on twisted galvanized wire with a loop on the end. I have only seen a couple of these items over the years.

Thumbs up In the photo says a thousand words vein of thinking...

Here's a photo of what came with one of my early k-22s:



In addition to what Bill described it may have also included the green "guarantee" card and the "caution" insert.



They also may have included the sales brochure.









Good luck in your quest for these items. The hunt is a lot of fun.

Paper seems to be the first thing thrown out. Unfortunately. Who would ever have thought it would be wanted 50-60 years later?
