A 1953 3.5" .357 Magnum in blue or nickel is the one that's been eluding me for years...

Thankfully, you're a month younger than me.I don't need competition for a 1952 K22!

[BlackSky]

K22 for sure. Sweetest little wheel gun you'll ever own.

[Bill Bates]

I would go with a K?? Masterpiece ... you pick the caliber .22, .32 (good luck) or .38 Spl.

Sorry, this 3 1/2" Pre-27 was shipped 9/23/53, so it wouldn't meet your needs. It's not for sale anyway, but does show what would have been available in 53.

I have a K-22 Combat Masterpiece made in 1953. It's my favorite 22. With a 4" barel, it's easy to carry around, but just as accurate as my longer barreled 22's.

Thanks... will begin my search for a k 22 4 inch 1953.......

I already have a 6 inch 17 and an 8 3/8 17 (shortly).

According to the SCSW, 3rd ed., the K serial numbers for 1953 run from K175638 to K210095.

My birthyear gun is a one-line address K-22, made in 1947. It's my favorite shooter (along with my 617).

Good luck!

zippo, Thank you for your compliments about my K-22 Masterpiece, but it will be my Daughter's when I'm done with it. However, I have put your email address in my address book and will contact you if I should ever locate another one in the same serial range you seek or I would find a 1951 K-22 in similar condition, I have a K-38 Masterpiece from that year my birth year. I have seen several 4 & 5 screw K-22's in this area over the past year. The best buys and places to look are in the small gunshops, not the internet auctions or gunshows. Good luck on your quest! Greg

Looks like that one's a 1958 vintage Model 17.

I posted a K-22 Combat Masterpiece (pre 18)here on the forum for sale last week. It was made in 1953 and is in great condition. Unfortunately I had no takers and have put it on GB for auction.......sorry, I could have hooked you up.
