I have not been on here in a while. I missed looking at all the history. Recently I was given a K-22 5 screw single line with serial # k957xx. My grandmother bought two sometime around the early 50's. One went to my great grand father the other to her husband. Mine has seen some usage the other is 95% or better. Not sure of it's serial #. I was wondering if you guys could help me date it. She just passed and was not sure of the details. Thanks for all who ask here with a little family history. I will post pictures as soon as possible.

It should be from 1950.
Congrats on getting it but I'm sorry for how you got it.
Looking foward to pics.

Those are great guns to collect. They made a lot of them but they keep their value.
That is kind of late for a single line address. I read that they started the 4-line address about 1948, but there are always exceptions to the rule with old S&Ws. Does it have the narrow rib barrel?

Thanks for the help. Sorry about the address you are correct it is the four line. I was working from memory. I just found out from my mom that my gram and her first husband(he died in '57) got married in '51 so I guess Smith held on to those for a while maybe.
