I bought a K-22 masterpiece for $98.00 when I was 12 years old, 50 years later I still have the pistol. I is a nickel K-22 and It came in a silver box which I no longer have. I went to Jinks a few years ago and discovered
.
gun shipped from factory on 16 july 1952
serial # K150xxx, shipped to J.L. Galif & Son NYC NY a firearms dealer
1 of 25 K-22s blue, 6"BARREL AND walnut magna grips
.
nickel was not original and was completed after it left the factory
Galif must have had it plated and had silver boxes made
