With a little assist from my wife, who actually spotted it in the back of the case, I picked up this Smith and Wesson, five screw, K-22 Combat Masterpiece, in nickel a couple of days ago. It was marked at $399.99, and when I asked "What's the best you can do?" I was surprised when the answer came back at $350.00. Well, I figured I'd better grab it before they changed their minds.
It was all kinds of funky when I got it. Nickel was all milky and dirty, a few small spots of rust, but nothing major. All the mechanicals checked out. The stocks were aftermarket Safariland's but that didn't bother me too much.
The jury is still out on rather the nickel is original or a refinish, but if it's a refinish, it's well done, and I'm too cheap to order a "letter."
It was pretty funky looking when I got it, with "patina" giving the nickel a rather cloudy/milky look, but a little time with some Flitz and Ren Wax pretty much took care of it.
