If it is indeed one letter (K) and just 5 digits (and you didn't miss one), then it dates to 1950.
But since you said it is a five screw, then yep, sure sounds like a very nice old K-38. These guns got model numbers assigned to them around 1957... and the K-38 Masterpiece was issued the name of Model 14. So your revolver might casually be called or considered a "pre-Model 14."
Cool revolver!
