What am I missing?

[donadler]

The 'Bible' says a model 22 in Excellent condition is worth $5500, while an ANIB is worth $7,000.

There is a Model 22 from 1959 that falls in between those two classifications as I see it, but with a starting bid of $5500 and a BIN of $6,000 there were no takers.

Any idea what I might be missing? Tempted but if no one else is, I figure I must be missing something about it.

I don't see one? We can't post links to ongoing auctions, so give me a hint!

Yeah, it's a nice one.
For one thing, I'd want to see a pic of the model marking.

I'm missing where the darned thing is?

No wonder it didn't sell.

I texted the seller and asked what was in the crane area and was told it was marked Mod 22. No photo though.

Can't link to it, but look on GB

Is it listed as a model 22 or? Thanks

My no dash 22 sold on GB late last year (penny start) for a good deal less than their asking price.

Nothing missing, just overpriced.

Is this some sort of April Fools thing?

Thanks. I was having trouble finding any sold for prices. Appreciate the feed back.

4 screw model 22. They don't show up to often for sale, especially in that condition. How long will it take you to find another one like that? I picked this one up a few years ago.

I think the 1950 pre 22's and even the model marked ones have always been a "niche'' market. Seems like they were more popular a few years back.

One question I have is: What would be the physical differences between a 1917 and a Mod 22? Both are fixed sighted N Frame 45 ACP revolvers.

Other than the # of side plate screws, and possibly some metallurgy differences.

Short action, safety lever and square notch rear sight.

The fact that they are civilian versions of the 1917 puts them purely into the collectors market. Not many were made and if you want a shooter, you can get a 1917 for a lot less money. If only a few collectors lose or gain interest in these guns, the value can swing significantly.

I picked up this one several years ago for about 15% of what a Model 22 in excellent condition would go for. But it's a 5 screw pre-22 and not a very scarce model marked gun.

But I'm sure not complaining.
