Model 15, 5 screw, 1952 vintage. Same as the wife and I carried as duty weapon as USAF SP's. Picked it up at a show Saturday and "relived our youth" with it on the range today haha.
Some of my favorites:
A real Masterpiece, about 1952.
5" M&P from the 1930's.
Outdoorsman
Post war snubbby M&P.
And the most modern Smith I own, a M-13, from 1984. They got some things very right with this revolver: 3" heavy barrel, target hammer, smooth target trigger and round butt custom walnut grips by Keith Brown and a great lined holster.
Hi
This is my Rarest and favorite K frame.
Its is a single gun shippment shipped in 1959 to a
individual in Portland Or. It is a model marked 16
4 screw that letters as you see it with all Target.
and a red ramp front sight.
This is one of the rarest K frames built.
there were some early 4 inch models in 5 screw
I think a shippment of 10. I only know of one other
like mine.
enjoy the picture and the information.

K-22 Combat Masterpiece Five Screw Shipped June 24, 1952 to Shapliegh Hardware Co.,St Louis MO.
I've had this K-38 since about 1967 or 8. Serial # 100XXX. Original stocks.
It was my first and only handgun for many years. I bought it from a friend and shot many informal Bullseye targets with it. Hardly ever fired anything other than 148 gr. cast wadcutters in it. It's been a good one!
