So the first Masterpiece I obtained 10 years ago is a 14-1 from 1961. The second and third one are both 5-screw guns from 1949 and 1950. Several months ago I decided that my collection was really in need of a 3-screw. Found one on GB a week or so ago that did not have the best pictures, but it looked pretty good, and there were no bids. I placed an opening bid on the gun and when the auction ended there was still only one bid on it.
The gun was delivered to my door this morning and when I got the package opened and unwrapped, I was more than happy, to say the least. I honestly do not think this gun has ever been fired outside the factory. It still had a generous amount of nearly congealed factory protectant. There is not a hint of firing on the recoil shield or the cylinder. Not a single mark on the entire gun. You have to look really hard to even see the slightest turn line.
It is a Model 14-2 that shipped in September, 1965. No extras, just the gun. Now I guess I will have to start looking for a 4-screw K-22 Masterpiece to fill in that hole. Seems like I always find a reason to buy more...
Couple of pics of the 14-2 and a pic of of three of them.
