I've inherited a S&W 22 revolver that I want to sell. Can anybody tell me what it may be worth ? It's looks to be in excellent shape.

One side just says " Smith & Wesson" The other side says "22 long rifle ctg" and "made in u.s.a. springfield, mass." and there's an s&w logo. On the handle bottom is a #: "k 103999". It appears to have a 6" barrel and looks very similar to the pic below Though it looks more blue than black.

The "k" on the serial number makes it a "K Frame"

K22, Known as the Model 17 after 1957
I count 4 screws on your frame
Means it's an earlier model.
Serial number indicates it may have been made prior to 1951,
and after 1947.
Front sight post is round, earlier mfg.

I think the pictured gun is a kit gun, looks like a 4" barrel, on a small frame (I or J); if I'm reading the post correctly it isn't the actual gun that Mike has.
Condition will affect the value along with rarity, but its likely worth $300- or more.

Your replies are heartening. Esp. the one to write to the S&W Historian. My Dad probably bought it new around 1950. BTW He also has a 43 DUO 25 cal.
