Default K22 4" grips

Came across a 1957 k22 and the grips appear not be original. Does anyone know what they're suppose to look like?

Most likely diamond magnas and stamped with the serial number.

One sold recently at one of the major online auction websites for $455 - however, it appeared to be refinished, had bluing loss at the muzzle, incorrect grips, and some freckling. Others in excellent condition have sold at online auctions for $800. You are most likely somewhere in the middle of that. Although I hope some others will chime in with estimates (which are pretty difficult in the absence of photos - if you could post some, you'd probably get quite a few more precise answers)

They are of the correct factory Target style for the era but were probably replacements. The only way to be certain is to get a letter of authenticity, which would also give you the date and destination when it left the factory:

Smith & Wesson Historical Foundation - Letter Process - Insuring that the rich history of Smith & Wesson will continue for generations to come

If the left side looks as nice as the right, I'd guess it to be worth in the middle of the range quoted above, so $600 or so. Enjoy!

IMO Murphydog is in the ball park at $600.

Local markets play a big part in pricing.... and just finding one to buy locally can be an issue.

"Friends and family" pricing could go around $500 for a nice shooter grade like that........ in some markets a LGS pricing would be $650 to 700 with some room to dicker.......

Do the grips have a football cut out on the other/left side?
