Serial numbers in 1948 ran from K18732 to K73121. Assuming you've got the right number of digits in the serial number, "Mod 17" or the equivalent should not appear stamped in the yoke cutout - model numbers weren't assigned until nearly a decade later, so the gun is simply a K-22 Masterpiece (pre-17).
