*SOLD* Smith Wesson 617-1 .22LR 6" *RARE BELGIAN PROOF MARKED SMITH* 1 of 327

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The firearm is chambered in a .22 Long Rifle and is equipped with a 6° profile barrel designed for precision and accuracy. However, due to its export status, detailed specifications are scarce, and no examples have been found in the United States. This particular model, identified by the product code 170066, is known as the "Target Champion," with approximately 235 units manufactured and exported to Wischo in Germany between 1995 and 1996. Additionally, another variant with a new profile barrel, designated with the product code 170122, was produced exclusively for export. This version, which boasts around 327 units manufactured, was shipped to Germany between 1998 and 1999. Despite these details, comprehensive information on the firearms' features remains limited, as the models were not made available within the U.S. market.
