Very nice. More like $750 to $850.

Yes, looks to be in very good condition. Would suggest not storing it in a leather holster.

Agree with both posts above.
Not that you are looking to do so, but if you posted that at 450-500 it would be gone in a flash

Thx for the replies, greatly appreciated. Is the date of 1969 correct based on the SN ? This pistol will eventually be passed down to my son. Regarding the actual model #, is it a Mod 17, 17-3, Targetmaster, ? Or are they all the same ? Will definitely tell my dad to remove from the leather holster and store it in a silicon pistol sack.

Per SCS&W
1969 K848782 - K946391
It's a 17-3 indicating the third engineering change since adopting the model numbering system in 1957. Prior to that they were known as the K-22 Masterpiece.
That's a $700- 800 gun all day long around here.

Reference this part " The “7” appears to have been re-stamped over a number “6” ??? ":
Odds are more likely that it was actually stamped over an 8, as the Model 18 is a very common (and popular) .22 caliber K Frame revolver, and over-stamps are not at all uncommon with S&W. It was likely they simply turned some Model 18s into some Model 17s with a simple over-stamp of the last number.
In reference to your value, I cannot say exactly, but I think it is a very nice example of a shooter, that around here, it would sell quickly in the mid $600s and to the right person for a bit more, but that varies by region, as others have posted that it would go for a bit more in theirs. None of that matters if it is getting passed down to a family member.

S&W threw nothing away

I have had it’s twin for 45 years, a gun I’d never part with. With it’s family connections you should keep it. It’s a dandy.
