Picked up a K22 today.......
Very well worn, finish wise, but great bore and tight lockup. Came with a British Army style flap holster. Apparently it spent a great deal of time in the Amazon riding on the hip of a geologist, so almost Indiana Jones!
This is an early post-war Smith, serial number starts with a K and is followed by 64xxx. Seen the elephant, it has. If only it could talk, eh? One to treasure.
Oh, almost forgot. The family of the now deceased owner brought it in and, in their own words, just wanted to get rid of it. Didn't want it around, you see, damn the memories, Democrats don't have memories. Sigh......
