I believe the first 2 numbers of the serial, taken away from 100, equals your year of manufacture. In your case the numbers 22 would indicate that it was made in 1978. As for price, it depends on the condition. I bought one yesterday and paid $700 Australian for it. I might have paid too much but for a rifle steeped in history and with a reputation to match - I'll be passing it on to my kids in several decades - THAT makes it cheap I reckon.
