S&w k22

[gacracker]

I have just inherited a K22. Who here has lots of knowledge about these. The only serial# I find is on the front of the cylinder, and it is 270xxx. I used this gun as a teenager over 40 years ago and it is still good looking and tight. I guess they do not make them like this anymore. Anyway, I would like to find out more about its history if I can. Thanks in advance for any help!

Until then can you post up pictures. A little data for the spank bank so to speak....

I'm a poor photographer!

I have one. A pic is posted on Ram' s favorite .22 thread. I want to say it's worth about 6-700, from the research I remember. Mine's a great shooter.

Have you looked on the bottom of the grip frame for a serial number?

No serial# that I can find except for the one on the cylinder. I wouldn't want to sell it, just interested in the history. Thanks!
