MrLunchBox 0 Posted February 27, 2020 Recently acquired this .22 looking for some info on it. Will attach pictures of when I get home. But it seems to be from early 80s and has a blue box. Was my grandmothers I don’t think she used it much just had it as part of her collection from way back. My uncle took the other guns to Texas years ago. Only one left.

Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted February 27, 2020 Pictures, serial number and engineering change (dash number = 617-XX) would help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Hartman 31 Posted February 27, 2020 Bangor Punta era at least by the paperwork so 1967-1984 easy to tell when it was made by the serial # the dash after the 17 will give you a time frame when it was manufactured. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njJoniGuy 2,131 Posted February 28, 2020 They ARE very nice revolvers. Bought mine summer 76 at Joffe's on W Chester Pike in Upper Darby. My first handgun. The original small wood grips felt tiny in my hands so I replaced them with a set of Hogues. Much better. I still have it and occasionally take it out to the range.
