Default Factory pair of K-frames for Supt. Fred Miller

Here is a factory pair of K-frames, specially made up for factory superintendent Fred
Miller, and presented to him in 1940. Other than the caliber, the guns are identical.
The upper gun in the pictures in a 2nd-Model K-22; the lower gun is a .38 M&P Target,
from the middle-to-late 1930's .

Both guns have undercut Patridge front sights, and special Roper stocks. There is some
additional decorative carving on the grips.

I bought this pair from the auction of the estate of Rex Applegate. It was part of his
collection of "Guns of Famous Shooters". I think the auction was in 2000.

Marvin Huey, of Huey Cases, just completed this case. The first picture is the outside
of the case.



This next picture is looking into the case, with the top open.



This next picture is a closer-look at both guns. Notice the attention to detail, in the
fitting of the guns to their cutout in the case.



This next picture is a close-up look at the 2nd Model K-22.



The last picture is a close-up look at the .38 M&P Target.
