The action on a Colt Officers Model Match is superlative...the 22LR was offered begining in 1930 in the Officers Model.

I would say prices are in the $550 to $900 range for the Match version.

Collectors Firearms in Houston has one for $895.00

I am very familar with the series...they were first introduced in 1904 and discontinued in 1970. They were offered at first in 38 Long colt which is different than 38 spl. In 1908 the action was strengthened to accomodate the 38 spl...the 32 calibers were mostly special orders until a run of them was mfg in 1940. After WW2 the 32 was dropped. In the early 60's the 22 Mag was introduced and produced in limited quanities. The pistol was made in 4, 4.5, 5, 6 and 7.5 inch barrels...the 6 inch barrel is very common with the 7.5 inch following..the realy rarity is the 4 inch barrel...of which I have one. Only the 6 inch was produced after WW2.

an interesting variation on the Officers models was a customized version made by King Gun Sights in SF, CA...their flagship was the COLT KING SUPER CONVERSION which featured a vent rib on the barrel..they are fairly rare to find...with 38 spl being the easiest....in 32 I have only seen or heard of 2, one of which I have. In 22LR it is also very difficult to find..in 30 years I have seen 3 one of which I have...but there are probably a good number of them floating around. I also have the King Super in a Official Police in 22LR..talk about a slick revolver to shoot...WOW the action is smoooooth.
