The K-22 Combat Masterpiece a hard one to find..
« on: November 23, 2005, 05:25:59 AM »
Hello
I looked several years to find and older model 18 and just picked this one up. Sent from the factory in 1958. Show yours. Regards, Hammerdown

Kurt, mine is an 18-3 and has far more bumps and bruises than yours. I'll try and take some pics of it, soon and post them. When Hunt101.com went down I lost most of the pictures I had taken. Finally got some decent weather to take some pics of my 18 and took some of my 63, also, two of my favorite timber tramping guns.

Hello S.B.
Great.. I looked long and HARD for a rough one so I could Nickel plate it, but only found them at a high cost so settled for the one shown. Best regards, Hammerdown

Most folks that have them hang onto them because there is nothing else out there of the same quality.  I love my masterpiece - I also have a 617, but it is not the same. Nice, but simply not the same.

This fine pre-MDL 18, ca.1952 came my way some time back, along with her box and original grips ~~ I decided she could use some nice Ivory as well ~~ the Myers holster was part of the deal.:D

this K 22 ca.1950, a buddy was selling, along with her box-- hard to turn your back on such treasures--  :lol:   :lol:
