Recently, I bought a nice 1956 vintage K22 Masterpiece. It came with a target hammer and a nice set of non relieved
walnut target stocks. Now, it does not fit into a standard K22 gold box. I have sent for a letter to confirm or deny the originality of the stocks. If in fact, the letter shows that they are factory, what kind of box were these shipped in? I have a 38 Combat Masterpiece that was factory shipped with target hammer and unrelieved walnut target stocks, and it was put in a gold box for a 6" K22, and relabeled.
I realize that very few K22's were shipped with target stocks. The new owners just took the magnas off, and chucked them for custom or Goodyear stocks. Same with most all "K" frame target revolvers.
Anyone know for sure what the target stocks equipped revolvers were shipped in? Thanks, Big Larry
