Default 22/32 accidental collection

I put in a low bid on this 1938/39 22/32 and accidentally won. Then found a 'Walter F. Roper' signed letter on eBay and it just happened to reference the 22/32. But I did buy the 1931 S&W catalog on purpose. Now I just need a letter.

You really need to fine the S&W catalog "Campers Gun" from about 1925. This catalog has a neat story about a couple of guys going camping and shooting a 22/32 Hand Ejector.

There are three versions. Good luck finding any one of them. In all the years I've collected I've only seen a handful.

I think I still have a "The Campers Gun" catalog that I was selling. It's been awhile since I looked through my for sale stuff. If I still have it I will bring it to the Tulsa meeting in June.
