Default Birthday Time

I have shown this one many times here. But, since it turned 86 today, I thought I would show it again. It is probably the jewel of my collection. Being a King gun and an early one make it unique and interesting to me.

The factory letter says "We have researched your Smith & Wesson K-22 Outdoorsman or K-22 First Model, First Production Group, caliber .22 Long Rifle, in company records which indicate that your handgun, with serial number 632157, was shipped from our factory on January 17, 1931, and delivered to Folsom Arms Co., New York City. NY. The records indicate that thus firearm was shipped with a 6 inch barrel, blue finish, and checkered walnut grips. This shipment was for five units of this model and they were billed at $22.13 each. This revolver has been modified by the addition of a King super ramp and sight."

Since the first K-22 Outdoorsman was presented on January 3, 1931 and this one was shipped on January 17, 1931, it would have to be a very early gun.

Very nice Larry. Hope you didn't pay more than retail for that baby ($22.13)
