Pre-World War II Smith & Wesson K-22 Masterpiece Double Action Revolver

Shipped in June 1940, this is one of only 1,067 pre-war K-22 Masterpieces manufactured. It has standard S&W markings, importer marking on butt, silver Call bead sight, new micrometer click rear sight, un-numbered Magna grips, matching assembly numbers on the yoke and crane and matching serial numbers on the butt, cylinder and barrel. Provenance: Frank Staig collection.

ConditionExcellent. The revolver retains 95% plus original blue finish showing loss at the muzzle and on the ejector, a few moderate handling/storage marks and a cylinder drag line. 97% plus original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger. The grips are very fine with a few minor pressure dents and scratches and a few blemishes in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
