K-22 shipping date

[DECAR]

My wife's brother inherited their Dad's K-22 and he's curious as to the date of manufacture or shipping. Here is the only picture I have with our I-frame target 22 to the left of it. I can't seem to get the picture rotated correctly. It's not in bad shape from memory but far from pristine as guns were pretty much tools on his farm. The serial number is: K147823

Thanks

Probably around 1952

Thanks - that's actually a bit earlier than I expected considering the serial number.
