I have some questions on my K22. From the above, I think It's a 1957 pistol, but I'd like to know more about it if possible.
Here's the details.
It's a 6" K22
pinned frame/barrel (one pin at barrel, one near rear sight)
target hammer
5-screw
adjustable sights
original style cylinder stop
SN is K 297992 (however the K is on one side of the butt and the number is on the other.
original Diamond service grips have the matching SN without the K and in the odd format:
297
99
___2 (underscores to prevent omission of spaces)
There is a V stamped into the right side where the grip scale goes.
on the frame behind the swingarm I see something like this:
ko
8 2352
___2 (underscores to keep the forum software from omitting spaces)
The swing arm has "8 235 2" stamped into it.
Barrel has "SMITH & WESSON" on one side and "22 LONG RIFLE CTG" on the other
It has the four line made in the usa blurb on the right side of the frame, the only place anything patent shows up is underneath the s&w logo, but mentions no patents in particular (something pat off, forgot to log it before putting my target grips back on)
The muzzle end of the barrel has three equidistant radial marks from the bore out to about the apex of the convex barrel end....one mark is at 6:00.
