Thanks guys, one reason I bought it was the previous owner said it was made in 1951, the same year I was born. I just wanted to make sure what he told me was true. One of these days I'll take some photos of it. Probably get it lettered too.

That is a good bet; K1022xx (also a CM) shipped 1/51 and K1247xx (a K-22) shipped 11/51.
