Default Three fully engraved S&W revolvers

Hi, all.
I've been scanning this forum for a few days and I'm amazed at the wealth of knowledge here.
I've been doing some research on 3 revolvers that I've inherited but I've hit a dead end. I've come here in hopes that I can get more information.

I'd like to know approximate values of the following three pieces and what year they were manufactured. I'll include pics, too.

The first is a Model 17-4 in 22LR with a 6" barrel. Serial is 31k59xx.

The second is a model 28-3 Highway Patrolmen with a 4" barrel. Serial is AHZ29xx.

The third is a model 60 (no dashes) with a 2" barrel. I think this one is stainless steel. Serial is R3056xx.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated. I've no clue if these are collectable, wall hangers, or just nice shooters. I do know these are no doorstops because of the engravings.

All of them seem to have had the same engraver doing the work. One of them has a name under the grip "Frank J Privara". Another has the initials FJP under its grip. The last has no markings.

I hope the pics aren't overly large but here they are.
