Info on 5 screw S&W .22
I am hoping somebody can fill in some blanks for me. I bought a 5 screw S&W .22, I think it is the model 17, or maybe the 617?? It is .22 Long rifle,6 shot, with 6 inch barrel, adjustable sights, and wooden grips with the diamond. It is in excellent shape, the blueing is incredibly good to be as old as I think it is. Plus it shoots amazing, the trigger is really good, even has a trigger stop, not sure if that is factory though. Anyway, the dealer told me they stopped making the 5 screws in 1955, is this true? If so can anybody date it for me please. The gun has two sets of numbers I am not sure which is the serial. On the bottom of the grip is the number K 2357## I think this is the serial but I am unsure. Then inside the frame window and also on the crane of the cylinder is the number 81192. I would appreciate any information, as to the model and if possible the date of manufacture. I only paid $260, I think I did pretty good.
Thanks
