Default K22 Masterpiece 4 Screw

I bought this 1956 K22 Masterpiece (pre Model 17) 4 Screw late last year and took a few pictures so thought I would share them. Upon receiving this nice K22 I was pleasantly surprised as to the condition of the gun. This gun is all original with the original box and all numbers matching including the diamond magna grips. I believe the gun is 98% to 99% condition. I had talked to the seller about the condition and the pictures were good but it looks better in person. It has been in a safe, out of sight for many years according to the owner. Box was torn slightly on the top but even the grease pencil serial number is readable.

Fortunately, you don't shoot the box! That you have it at all is a plus from a collector's standpoint, of course, but the important thing is the gun itself and you have an undeniable winner. Congratulations on a great find. Enjoy it to the max.
