The "K22" Model designation without further definition is an ambiguity. "Masterpiece" term added, further clarifying. Reference for more than you probably ever wanted to know: A Look Back At The Smith & Wesson K-22 | An Official Journal Of The NRA A pix below of an early Postwar...

Missing??? What's missing here??? John

Now 'if' she was just a 'workin gun' with a bit of honest wear... I can appreciate such a gun 'from afar'. Make that 'way afar'! But honestly, big bucks aside, I just prefer some of my really nice condition, otherwise ordinary, Smiths. From above comments, realizing just how far I'm 'out of...

Dig out the discarded gold crown from the small 'trophy packet' commemorating 'your' new replacement and 'your dentist's' new sixteen hundred dollar billing! :) Alternatively, "ivory", sourced from the plastic tooth brush he also gave; the one too small and cheap for any realistic use. My...

SN... So Close! Just for info, my TL Target is SN 1047! No letter. If you'd care to share where yours shipped and solely or in group... I'd be obliged. Best & Stay Safe! John

Quick-pix: First, x2 my "pre Mod 26" in relatively low SN 79K range. Second, single pix, my Model 1955 aka "Model of 1950" barrel nomenclature, SN N338K! Prefer the light wt barrel! Interesting about the sight ramp pins. My Pre 24, 4" pins prominent! In these pix, pins not even evident...

A Few Words... "Requiem For A Heavyweight..." I'm with those here far wiser than me, who say to leave it alone! Best & Happy Holidays to All! John

Sometimes.... 'Limited to once per owner'! Also termed "Estate Specials", passing through so many; so quickly! :) :) :)

Sounds Interesting I can't quite visualize the nickel & copper description. Sounds a bit gaudy! If a "barbecue gun"; perhaps "pimp on the barbie?" :) As five inch barrel guns seeming about the standard in that model, your four inch a bit unique bonus itself! Acquisition price sounding...

God Bless all those who have answered the call and served our nation. Yet also, to Bless those families and others, who have remained behind to wait. I also pray for all Americans to heal & rebuild the unity which makes and keeps us strong. "One nation, Under God, with liberty & justice for...

Thank you kindly Sir, for the point-on information. Several more questions please. Are there available exemplars of the correct stocks on the Net or otherwise? Like to be sure, knowing what I need and am purchasing! :) What do my present stocks fit and what approximate value? Last, where...

Here's mine from purchase in eighties, SN 137xx Actually don't recall the price now. But I was never the 'big bucks' contender. From prior Threads, though I was good on the grips. Now, sounds like they should have a gold medallion??? Kindly... KMA! Best & Stay Safe! John

Honorable "Other"... I lost score here way early! Probably of no use, but below a few pix of my .45 LC New Service from 1939, showing cylinder length & 'aft gap' as Colt did it! For any assist??? Best & Stay Safe!

Good Gad! Self-admission! Product X 2 careers Mil & LE service. Instant viewing! Conjuring... "Unsecured weapon!" Undoubtedly "secured area"; no matter. Pushing quarter century since 'those days', old habits/knee-jerks do die hard! Interesting old Smith & pardon the distraction! Best &...

Good looking Smith K Frame there! :) My guess, edition as paralleling my pix below. Between .32 & .38... Going with the odds! Also perhaps with odds... That front sight as non-original or... "Rare Factory Variation" snake gun for dispatching targets less than a meter distance! :) :) :) Best &...

Estate matters. First as comment above, just 'heads up' IF any estate/inheritance tax issues to be considered in estate plan. Super-senior, I labored for some recent years with 'guilt' of not liquidating most of a large collection for benefit of my several sons. None with any intrest in guns...

Dad, departed quarter century ago, leaving me a little Colt .25 Auto, pix below. But ever so much more! 'The' model of honesty, integrity and hard work. Executive in large firm, never 'touchy-feely' dad-person, but ever 'there for me'. Died at 90, almost lifelong smoker, never heart or lung...

The prewar K22 one gun that's eluded me for a long time. More than my fair share of decent Smiths, but do admire those! Congrats to those able to acquire nice specimens here! Those Ropers are works of art! Need to get a grip on myself just viewing! Humor, but 'art' remark serious! Best! John

*** I do clearly understand what you're saying! Been there, done that. Myself appreciating fact of my 'overpaying'. Busy working life and my time worth more than the extra perhaps '$500 or so max', excess compared to devoting time searching (pre Inernet days) for another one equaling the...

Wow! Wow! Wow! :) Thanks for the beautiful layout and wealth of informaiton concerning this great Smith genre! Photos too, the best! Great presentation package! I didn't note the 4" Combat Masterpiece, my presumption of beyond radar. Moment to advocate it's inclusion as going hand in hand...
