What a classic beauty, you really have the luck to find such a revolver. The grips have wonderful grain and color. MAkes me wonder if it was a special order for someone special. Even the screw driver is special, a nine banded blued one, dates from 1940-1958.

If Webster's ever adds "Gun Porn" to the dictionary these are the pictures they should use! Beautiful.

Brother, That K-22 is a beauty! You've got quite a find there (with the box and all the goodies). Enjoy!
That's a good one Kris! Congrats on your find.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful revolver with us. What a time capsule. Perfect in every detail.
Best Regards, Les

Among the most beautiful factory stocks I've ever seen. Fantastic special order. Never seen a 6" K22 with a ramp...let along with insert.
Bringing this one back to the top with the factory letter. Shipped as you see it in a single gun shipment [emoji6]
I like the pricing breakdown; the special order features equated to over a 21% increase in the wholesale price!

Very cool that it lettered like you hoped! Quite an increase for the special features too. I forgot to ask, was this a local find or on the auction sites?

thanks! It was a GB find
That surely "is" a special K22. That box is a triple plus, and correct to the examples I've seen. There was not pre-printed box for the K series shipped with the OSS option so they used a blank box and paper end label that was sometimes all correct, hand wrote all the SN and options on the bottom side. Just PERFECT !! Congrats on that find.

If you don't like this gun, you probably don't belong on this forum. That's about as nice as a 17 gets IMHO.

Oddly enough, the barrel that was the basis for my recently completed K-32 homage had a Baughman rib... no red ramp, but definitely a Baughman rib. Since it came to me as a NOS barrel with no provenance, I was interested to see the comments here.
