Question edited for clarity and toss in some CAPS and spaces.
Question moved from 'Made Computers'.
There were several variants in terms of available barrel length (4", 5 1/2", and 7"), target grips, and frame colors (gray or black). The stainless steel version (as opposed to the blued steel) was called the 22S.
I can't tell by the photo if it's a five shot or a six shot. Six shot Airweights are relatively rare and are worth more. (I gave my son one, you should have seen him smile!)
As Andrew said, more info is needed to identify your gun. Inside the crane at the hinge is a number that will identify the model number. This plus the serial number can get you a letter with the date of manufacture from Smith & Wesson. I don't think they charge for this. For a fee they will send you a sort of "Birth" certificate with a lot more info, but it only makes sense to get one for a valuable collectible.
As to value, check for similar guns sold on sites such as Gunbroker.com and GunsAmerica.com. Ignore what people are asking for their guns. Check for completed auctions and sales.
As in anything similar, condition is paramount. Your gun photographs well, but it's difficult to see if it has wear, and of course, the gun would need to be personally inspected by a knowledgeable person for mechanical defects and bore condition.
