Smith .22 Revolver 6"

Here's the deal. A guy i know needs work on his house but has no money. He's willing to trade his Smith .22 he thinks about 1980, no box no papers. The gun is in miraculous condition, blueing great, a little rubbing on the cylinder but the blueing's all there, Barrel looks pristine inside and out. It's got the adj. rear site and the oversize light colored walnut stocks which look brand new.He says about one box of shells thru it. You swing the cyl. out the serial # on the frame is 11K0030 then below that, MCD 17-3.. My question is, is this a desireable gun? Does anyone want a large frame revolver in .22? The stocks are really too large for my hand so i might be trading or selling if i take his deal..
