I'm sure you've all likely seen these type of posts before, but since I'm new to this forum, I figured this particular request might be of some interest.
I have K-38 that belonged to my dad when he was a member of the local special police. I've shot it a few times, and man is this beast accurate!
I'm hoping to be able to more accurately date it since there are a few confounding comments I've found as I've researched it. As per the suggested images you'll likely need, I have attached a few.
The serial number is K302052, and I was told it was likely from the late '60s, however there are also other details that seem to point to an earlier date: it has the screw in front of the trigger guard which I'm told if from the early '60s. Also appears to have the optional 'target hammer', and the grips are unrelieved.
Please let me know if you need any other photos to assist in finding the heritage of this really nice gun. Thx! --Rich
