I have one that is undated and shows a M10 3 screw. I know they have pre wars and post wars as I have these, but this is for a very late revolver. Anybody know the time frame here? This must be the last version? Thanks, Big Larry
 
Three screw revolvers appeared in 1962 and the change was not authorized until November 28, 1961, so I would guess these Helpful Hints brochures were not printed until sometime in 1962. By this time, the fold-out Parts & Instruction sheets were being shipped with each model and the brochure was obsolete.

I had this photo of the revolver in my Pictures and Albums. I have had the brochure in my collection for many years.

Exactly like mine, but does anyone know exactly what time frame? I know the 4 screws had a different one that probably carried over until after the 3 screw. I guess they printed 1000's of each one and never threw any away. My early transitional K22 one liner with LERK, has the very early type as does my 1937 K22 Outdoorsman. Thanks, Big Larry
