Happy Birthday Don.
The "club" serial number is the number of days in a leap year, which this year is.
What year did you and your Outdoorsman ship? Was that a leap year, too?

Coast Guard gun prototype?

The tiny little pics are hard for my old eyes to get any detail from, Don, but what I can see looks very nice...Happy birthday!...

...BenCongratulations Don.
I saw that one coming up for sale and figured it would be quite a bidding battle considering its uniqueness, hope you didn't get too bruised up.
Happy Birthday and what a beautiful gift.

I saw that revolver in person on Wednesday and thought "I hope Don gets this one." Congratulations - it's a beautiful gun. I don't know enough about K-22s to know what's unusual.
OP
Bidding opened at the high estimate of 9K. After seeing other nice Smith & Wessons sell that I would have liked, I just put my card up. 0366 shipped on January 21, 1935 to Edward S. Pomeroy. I shipped March 23, 195x. 0366 shipped in January 21, 1935 and the Coast Guard guns shipped in February 12, 1935. 0366 may very well be the prototype for the Coast guard guns.
Happy Birthday, and congratulations on a nice acquisition! That's a beauty!
Good Show Don!
Happy Birthday, Sir A very nice gift, I might add! As mentioned earlier, I am unable to see much detail from your photos so my answer is: I Don't Know!
Edited to Add: Even if the photos were larger I still may not know!

It has service sights. It shipped before the 25 Coast Guard guns. Can I call it the prototype to the Coast Guard guns?

Happy belated birthday. Fixed sight K-22, very likely a prototype, considering who it went to.
Here is a picture of two Coast Guard K-22, that turned up together maybe 15 years ago. They are not my guns. This picture was posted on this forum shortly after the guns were found.

I have seen this phrase used but I have to admit I don't have any idea what a "club gun" is, can you folks enlighten me?
Many thanks!
Many thanks!

To me the term CLUB GUN, is a misnomer. From what information I have for Club Guns, I think the term should be Gift Guns. The first Club Gun that actually letters to a Club is 0333. It went to the Whitinsville (MASS) Gun Club. There were over 700 Club Guns starting in 1899 to early 1970s. Most were Single Shots. I have a Model 41 that is a Club Gun.

Thank you Don! So Club Guns were guns that were gifted to gun clubs, makes perfect sense now!
OP
No, I said Gift Guns. The first 332 went to individuals or stores.
