S&W K-22 Masterpiece Value

edited May 2002 in Ask the Experts
I have a K-22 Masterpiece that I belive was produced in 40's, just a guess as I am 63 and my father had it when I was really young.

I would like to know if anyone can give me a fair value, as I am contemplating selling on auction. The numbers K 56740 are on butt of handle. On the swivel for the cylinder it is stamped on the frame just above that, with cylinder open it is stamped S or 5 space and 532. On the frame just above the swivel is stamped 553 2 1. I measured the barrel from the muzzle to entrance to chamber in front of cylinder and it is 6". The grips appear to be walnut and are not marred or scratched. I am not a gun grader, but I would say it is 90% with the ejector rod showing the only wear at all. The Grips appear to be factory checkerd. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you for your response. I have two different gun dealers say they thought it would be more, but also could not say for sure if they
    had the absolute right gun. Thank you again for your response.

    Your gun was made in 1948. Nice gun. Very desireable. Collectors pay the big bucks but they demand very high degree of original finish. Also, do you have the original box? Accessories? The gun alone in 90% condition will probably bring between $350-$500. But, anything can happen in an auction and all it takes is two bidders who both decide they can't live without it. Or, it may go unsold on a bad day. Stating a value for a particular gun or predicting how much someone else is willing to pay for it is impossible. Want to know what it's worth? Start it at $1.00 and the bidders will tell you.
