Default K22 Combat Masterpiece from a time capsule

I had been searching for a nice pinned barrel .22 caliber S&W revolver for what seems like forever when I stumbled upon this model 18 circa 1980 in a small shop in Pennsylvania and fell in love. It's almost brand new with serial numbered magna stocks, box, tools and every piece of paper that came with it including the original sales reciept. The presentation grips are there because I like them and to keep the originals from getting dinged up. I will pamper this one, but this lil' girl is gonna enjoy range time.

Great find, it would be nice if you could have paid the price written on the box! The presentation grips really dress it up.

Default That is beautiful

And nice job on the pictures also. You really captured the brilliance of the finish.
I have an 18-4 in the 82K serial range. I know you are going to enjoy the range time with that one. JA

I know, right!

According to the reciept, whoever made the initial purchace also got a model 48 the same day. I'd love to have that one as well since it's probably in the same or similar condition.I do love the hunt!
