    Colt Officer's Model 22LR Value?

    I was hoping there was someone knowledgeable about old Colt revolvers on here. I inherited this decades ago and was thinking of parting ways but have no clear idea of value. Looking on gun broker there are a few examples that look NIB and pricing to go with it. When I check the Colt S/N it may be from the 30's?

    Not sure what to do with it, not sure if it's trash or has some value. S/N is 676 U

    Any info would be appreciated, thanks!

    It has value. I see it’s missing the knurled end piece that finishes the ejector rod (threaded end).
    The pic of “serial number” isn’t. It’s a part number particular to that gun, major parts had a number to keep everything together that had been finished to that frame (pre CNC days).
    Might try Numrich gun parts for the missing piece, which would help sale.
    I’m not a Colt revolver guy, but yours should be worth $700-$1k depending on age/condition/etc.

    Photo shows missing part:

    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

    As stated I tried that. Apparently that wasn't a serial number.

    Thank you for the reply. Couldn't see the pic of the missing part but I know what it is. It's been gone for probably at least 40yrs that I'm aware of. Any idea if this thing has a serial number somewhere that I'm missing?

    Nope, just a few single digits. Decided it might be worth the time to put a little more effort into. Gave it a quick (and careful) disassembly and putting it thru my sonic cleaner filled with Lucas at the moment. I will document / photograph the markings and condition upon reassembly.

    Found a very similar one on GB. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/907631355

    All the photos I can find online show this three digit (676) location as the serial number.

    I have one in better condition than yours. It is the one on the left in the photo - I have a .22 and a 38 special.

    Last I checked both of mine were in the $750-$850 ballpark.

    If I had to guess yours is between $500 and $600. Maybe a little over $600 if you get the missing part.
