Unusual MKIII 22 auto?

[Rockrat]

Fellow I know has a .22 auto that he brought over wondering what it was worth. I thought it was a regular 5 1/2" bull barrel gun, but its a stainless (Hunter he called it) fluted bull barrel around 3" long with a set of grips that have a thunb rest for the right hand and finger grooves. Good looking wood.

I am going to assume a special run but can anyone tell me more about it and what it might be worth as I have no clue. Gun only, no box or anything

thanks

IF the rest of the gun looks "right," remember that grips are easily swapped around...

Yep, thats it. Grips are different though.

Thanks, appreciate the info
