This is one of only 1,067 pre-World War II Model K-22 Masterpiece revolvers S&W manufactured in 1940 to 1941.

Excellent, retaining 99% original blue finish showing slight muzzle wear, a cylinder drag line and minimal handling evidence. 99% plus original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger. The highly attractive grips are also excellent showing typical age-related hairline cracks on the bottoms, some minor handling marks and gorgeous color and grain. Mechanically excellent.
