How old is this k22?

[SGT ROCK 11B]

Thank you ! I wondered why all these old revolvers are getting into pawnshops and small gun shops? Is it the old timers passing away and kids and grandkids just not wanting them.

Yes.

My LGS got four Colts in the other day. DA 41LC, DA 38 LC, DA 38 Special and an Officers 38 Special.

Welcome to the Forum! You picked up a nice K-22 for a pretty good price. As others have told you, yours dates to 1947. I have one (K40403) that is just a little younger (1948), and it has the 4-line address on the right side of the frame. The finish shows that it was used and well loved, and it's still a fun and accurate shooter. Enjoy!
