I am very partial to high quality .22 revolvers.

My local wallet drainer has a beautiful six inch Colt Official Police .22LR. Nearly perfect finish. Tight, scant turn line with a set of non original 'stag' grips. From all I can find out, it is a postwar model because it has no patent date on the barrel.

He has $795 on it, though I can probably get it for around $700 OTD because I am a good customer (and give him some good trades form time to time!)

Is it worth that kind of scratch?
Absolutely!

I cut my shooting teeth on one along with its .38 brother. Fantastic revolvers!
