Default A K-38 Combat Masterpiece Pre-15

This bears serial # K200xxx. I believe that makes it about 1953?

It arrived with non diamond PCs and a chrome Tyler T Grip.

This was someone's " totin' pistol " 60+ years ago.

Best,
Charles

A Combat Masterpiece was my first centerfire handgun back in 1960. That one got away, but has since been replaced. Possibly my favorite S&W. Yours tells a story.
