For sale is this U.S Air Force shipped Model 14 K-38 Masterpiece. Blued with non-serial matching but well fitting diamond centered Magna stocks. As per the factory letter this gun shipped to the USAF, Lackland Air Force Base in Texas on November 17, 1958. It was used the Air Force Pistol Team in the International Center Fire Pistol Matches. A fine piece of Air Force marksmanship history.
This gun was tuned by the Lackland AFB marksmanship unit pistolsmiths. It was then marked AF PG (Air Force Premium Grade) on the left side of the frame below the cylinder window.
This gun originally shipped with a 6 inch barrel. It was returned to the factory and the barrel reduced to a 4 inch length. The barrel flat shows an S <> diamond marking indicating that work was done by the Service Department, as confirmed by the factory letter. The muzzle work looks perfect as one would expect on a factory job. There is a small bit of bluing wear at the muzzle.
I have never shot this revolver, although it has been in my collection about 15 years or so. The bore looks excellent to me. It is tight and smooth as one would expect with an AF PG revolver. The face of the Patridge sight has some red enamel paint on it for increased visibility which should be easily removable if so desired. No box or papers but the original factory letter is included.
Price is $1650 plus $45 shipping to your FFL. This gun qualifies as a C+R so your C+R FFL is acceptable as well. 3 day non-firing inspection. I prefer a Money Order or certified funds bank check, but I will accept the personal check of any current S&WCA member.
Please email me with any questions as PMs here are answered less swiftly. Email me at [email protected] and remove the NOSPAM reference. The first person who posts here "I will take it" will be the buyer.
Thanks for looking.
