K-22 Masterpiece value
Hello All,
I'm new to the board and I am a novice when it comes to guns of any type. I have registered to take a conceal and carry class in order to obtain my permit. I have a K-22 that I had planned to use for the course but now I am having second thoughts. I bought the gun from my grandfather about 30 years ago and at that time it had only been fired 3 times. Right after buying it I shot one box of 50 shells through it. My father (a local police officer) then cleaned it for me and it hasn't been fired since. I am concerned that it is in such good condition that I should just save it as a collectable. I would like to get your collective opinions on the piece. I have the original box with the oil paper. The gun is all original with a serial number of K 47352.
I would like to get an idea of the manufacture date and some idea of the value. Also, if I shoot it would the value be diminished. I also have my father's service revolver to use which is a S&W 38 Spcl with a 4" barrel so I have other options.
Attached are a few photos to show the condition.
Thanks,
Dennis
