Don't belive the date tables. They're notoriously wrong. 1946 probably had 150 guns shipped, not 615. K155 and K166 shipped in 1947, as did yours.

tried to post more pics not good on computer but learning

 

[Blackcloud2]

WOW! More pics when you can get it working and more history!

a little history gun was found on top shelf in closet with two other hand guns after a friends father had passed away they had no knowledge of them and did not want anything to do with them thus became into my possession they were not registered so had them cleared and registered

Hang on to it. If you only own one S&W, and that's it, your in good shape.

 

[VM]

Very Nice - thanks for pics. As GF said, that's a keeper!

Does your gun have very short rear sights and a brass call bead front sight? I have K17XXX and it has sights as I described rather than the standard patridge target sights.

would be nice to keep it but have to many toys now soon as i can put a value on it it will go any ideas ?

Sir, Very nice K-22. I would be interested in finding out what you would be willing to part with it for. Doug Thompson

Probably several on the board here would be interested. Put it up for auction on gunbroker or auction arms. Something like you have, if mechanically sound, would fetch anywhere from $750 to $1200 depending on the day, etc.

Are you saying you sold the box already or am I reading that wrong?

It would be a real shame to seperate the gun from it's original box.

That's good to hear, a large part of the value is having the original box. Good pictures would help also, the wear of the blue does take away from the value but the pictures might be making it look worse then it is. At any rate it sounds like you came out way ahead no matter how you go.

 

[longarm]

You have one of the finest and most useful revolvers ever manufactured. Are you SURE you want to part with it??

 

[armybass]

Golly, that is a sweetie.

 

[gowganda78]

longarm you are right but i'm sixty one yrs old what good is it going to be sitting in my safe when it can be enjoyed by someone. i have more guns now then i will ever use and i'm a very active hunter not a collector.
