Manufactured in 1940, this is one of only 1,067 pre-war K-22 Masterpieces manufactured. It has standard S&W markings, importer marking on butt, micrometer click rear sight, short action, un-numbered medallion Magna grips and matching serial numbers on butt, cylinder and barrel. Provenance: Frank Staig collection.

Very fine. The revolver retains 90% original blue finish with cleaned areas on the barrel turned to a brown patina and a cylinder drag line. Nearly all original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger. The grips are excellent with a minor ding on a high edge and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
