Hoss,
Welcome to the forum.
You have a beautiful K22 Masterpiece on the K frame also known as the pre Model 17 (became the Model 17 in 1957 and stamped as such in the yoke in 1957). Yours is pre c. 1955 quickly identified by its early "Speed hammer" with wide target spur, nicknamed the "fish hook" hammer. In that condition if grips number to the gun (inside right stock panel) selling in the $800 range.

The original poster's gun is smaller and made on the Model of 1953 new I frame; S&W's smallest frame at the time.
