K22 Outdoorsman
I recently found this Outdoorsman while travelling the backroads at a small sports shop. It has just about all the original bluing, some slight freckling (very small) here and there, and a turn ring that only extends a tiny amount out from the notches. The crown at the muzzle has virtually all of its bluing. I would rate it overall at 96%. All numbers match, although the grips do not have any numbers at all. I am guessing they are not original because I thought the Magnas were all post war. The escutcheons on the inside are concave silver. The sight screws look unturned. The rear sight is a thing of beauty, very well fitted. The patridge front sight has a dot milled on the surface. I have not seen that before. The emblem is on the right panel. Is this correct for a pre war? Serial number is 6638xx. Needless to say, the gun now sits in my safe next to the K22 Masterpiece.
So, to recap, I am looking for comments on grips, side panel emblem, front sight. Thanks...
