Item Details

High Estimate5000
Low Estimate3000
serial #682429, 22 LR, 6'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. This is a very handsome example of the very low production pre-war second model ''K-22/40'', only 1,067 of which were produced between 1940-1941. This example shows a factory star service stamp and date of February 1947 beneath the grip. The star is stamped over the finish which is obviously original and not factory-reapplied and it appears the factory in fact replaced the cylinder stud on the frame. The metal surfaces retain about 97% original bright blue showing a little sharp edge and muzzle wear, some scattered light handling marks and some very mild thinning to gray-brown patina along the bow of the guard and gripstraps, only noticeable under bright light. The hammer shows lovely vibrant case-hardened colors, the trigger also with nice colors that show a bit more muting. All markings remain crisp and clear with the micrometer rear sight showing the ''PATENTS PENDING'' marking. The checkered walnut Magna grips with silver S&W medallions remain in excellent condition right and very fine condition left, the left showing a small ding at the top rear and minor flake at the bottom edge. The grips are un-numbered, their fit just a touch proud in a few areas, and the insides of the medallions are patent-marked. The remaining serialized parts are matching and the revolver is sighted with Call silver bead front sight and square notch rear, the notch having been widened slightly during the period of use. The action seems to function well mechanically with solid timing and lock-up. The revolver includes a factory red picture box for a slightly earlier K-22 Outdoorsman that rates near excellent showing some light scuffs and wear along the edges retaining nice embossing. The sticker on the base appears to be numbered ''660309''. A lovely example of this very desirable variant for the advanced S&W collector. (13B10826-367) {C&R} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson, Jr. Collection] (3000/5000)

In cases where items are reserved, a bid of the low estimate will always exceed the reserve.

New Hampshire residents over the age of 21 may take possession of any firearm on day of sale providing the proper paperwork is filled out and the transfer has been approved either through the NH State Police or the FBI NICS System. While most NICS and State approvals are immediate, approvals could take up to 3 days.

Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping charges and all items must be paid for on day of sale.

NOTE: Items that meet the age requirements but have been altered from their original configuration may NOT be delivered on a C&R License. Firearms that are not marked with one of these notations are considered to be “MODERN” and all proper paperwork is required unless you are an FFL Dealer.
