BEAUTIFUL SMITH & WESSON K-22 MASTERPIECE in ORIGINAL GOLD BOX, 22 LR, 1948 PRODUCTION

Description:
Smith & Wesson Gold Box K-22 Masterpiece, 22 LR, all original, made in 1948. I have had this K-22 for 27 years and have never shot it. My shooter is the homely twin to this one. This one has the original Gold Box with the serial number written in grease pencil on the bottom of the box. There are no papers or accessories except an original Smith & Wesson cleaning rod and jag.The bluing is the beautiful soft blue of the era and is in nearly perfect condition. There is a cylinder turn ring that I have emphasized in the photos. The original Diamond Checkered grips are in excellent condition and are numbered to the revolver. There are 2 small dings on the grips that I have emphasized in the photos.
The action works perfectly, the cylinder chambers and the bore are bright with no corrosion. The riflings are sharp and clean. The revolver has never been holstered and exhibits no bluing wear at the muzzle or on the sharp edges of the cylinder.These vintage K-22s are very accurate and fun to shoot. The ones in their original boxes are also becoming quite collectable. This one is a prize that is 78 years old.

Please look over the photos carefully. I have endeavored to take accurate photos that depict the actual condition of the item. Please contact me with any questions, I do my best to price my items to sell, and I never have a lot of wiggle room, but I will always consider serious offers. Thank you for looking!
