Question My S&W 22 LR

I have inherited a S&W 22 pistol. It is a Model 17-1, with a 6" Barrel. The Ser# is K787971. That is all I know about it. I am new to all of this, so my first question is: How old and is it a k22? Also, how do I determine the value of this gun? Any and all help will be appreciated

The DOM was 1968, as far as what it is worth, that depends on a lot of things, like the condition and mechanics etc. If you post a picture someone will chime in and give you a approx. value. I will tell you this, a nice 17-1 should be in everyones collection.

Welcome to the forum. Your revolver was called as a K-22 until 1957 when S&W changed over to the Model # designation system.

Your Model 17 comes from a long line of very fine .22 revolvers, and is highly sought after today.

Not to mention the family connection, you have a real treasure there.

This thread may give you some additional information.

Masterpiece Series ???
