Help me value this K-22 17-4 LNIB beauty

[70116]

I have acquired a 1980 S&W K-22 Masterpiece, 17-4, 8 3/8 barrel, SN 83K2958, original Box, paperwork and tools. I'd like to find out a realistic value. I will most likely be selling this gun since I'm not a Bullseye shooter or collector.

I've had some very knowledgable pistol folks examine the gun and they all believe that it has never been fired since it left the factory.

Here's one in relatively the same condition, a hair bit newer judging by the serial, starting bid is $975.

I don't have my latest blue book here at work.

Thanks much. I need to take better pictures.

I have an old model 17 to that was my grandfathers. I want to say it's a 17-4 also. It's not quite NIB condition, but in really good condition nonetheless. It's one of those guns I'll have forever.

You've got a real beauty there . I have one just like it with a 6" barrel. Hang on to it and pass it down . They don't make 'em like that anymore .

Is this the Model 17 that was at the EAPS match last Sunday?
