Thanks for sharing. I've never paid that close of attention to the paperwork. So, this morning I went back and looked through my pre-war brochures: Three of "The K-22 Outdoors-man's Revolver" brochure - all have the 1st type of TM; Three of "The S.& W. ".357" Magnum" brochure - one (the earliest of the three) has the 1st type of TM and two have the 2nd type TM (and I agree with you that it is a later TM); and Three of "The .38/44 Outdoorsman's Revolver" brochure - none of which have any TM on them.

Fun trivia to file away.
