Smith & Wesson .22 Masterpiece 5-Screw 1948 Post-War 3rd Model Revolver 6-Inch

Description:
A Collector’s Used; Circa 1948; Serial # K 31,7XX; Smith & Wesson K .22 Target Masterpiece 3rd Model; 5-Screw Sideplate Revolver; 6-Inch Slightly Tapered Heavy Barrel; Solid Serrated Rib, Windage & Elevation Click-Adjustable Target Rear Sight; 1/8-Inch-Wide Ramped, Pinned Partridge Front Sight; Four-Line Address on the Frame; Large S&W Monogram on the Sideplate; Serrated Front- and Backstrap. The barrel is marked “SMITH & WESSON” on the Left Side; “*22 LONG RIFLE CTG*” on the Right Side. This Revolver has a Medium Width Checkered (Low Spur) Hammer; Frame-Mounted Rimfire Firing Pin; Serrated Trigger; Frame-Mounted (fixed) Trigger Stop. The Barrel is Pinned and the Cylinder is Recessed with Matching Serial Number on the Rear Cylinder Face. The Bore is Bright with Sharp Rifling; and the Chambers are Bright and Shiny. The Blued Finish shows very little wear for its age (75+ years) as shown in the photographs. As described in reference works, the unusual transverse hole through the bottom strap (behind the grip locator pin) indicates this frame was configured for a lanyard loop before it’s selection as a rimfire-target model. Grips are Standard, Checkered, Diamond Escutcheon-Surround, S&W Monogram Magna Style (not numbered to the gun). A cylinder line and areas of lost bluing are visible around the muzzle, cylinder edges, and a few other small areas.
