Notes:
This is a classic Smith & Wesson Model 17-3 (K-22 Masterpiece), a highly regarded target revolver built on the medium K-frame. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, it features an 8 3/8\" pinned barrel with a rib, making it ideal for precision target shooting, plinking, or small game.
Key Features & Condition:

Caliber: .22 LR (6-shot fluted cylinder with recessed chambers)
Barrel: 8 3/8\" pinned barrel marked \".22 LONG RIFLE CTG.\" and \"SMITH & WESSON\"
Sights: Patridge-style front sight on a raised ramp; fully adjustable micrometer-click rear sight
Action: Smooth double/single-action with target-style hammer and trigger
Grips: Checkered walnut target/Magna-style grips with S&W gold medallions — excellent fit and finish
Finish: Original blued steel with strong remaining finish, bright bore, and crisp rifling (light handling marks consistent with age/use)
Serial Number: Matches the original box (approx. 12K range, circa mid-1970s production)

The revolver shows very good to excellent overall condition for its age — clean lines, tight lockup, and that legendary S&W smoothness. It includes the original matching blue S&W box (with labels, some wear/tape from storage, but intact and complete).
The Model 17-3 is a direct descendant of the pre-war K-22 Masterpiece series — prized by collectors and shooters for its accuracy, balance, and timeless American craftsmanship. These longer-barrel variants are especially sought after for their sight radius and stability.
Perfect for collectors, target enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a piece of S&W history that’s still a joy to shoot today.
