The Standard Catalog lists the Model 1922. 24.5" bbl., half-length stock, single barrel band, 5-round magazine, blue finish, walnut stock. Three basic types: standard issue, NRA commercial, and the ones altered from M1 to M2.
There were approximately 2000 made between 1922 and 1924. "The survival rate of the original issue types is not large as most were converted."

Looking at the Blue Book, I'll try to summarize, but I'm not really sure I can explain it all.
There are different versions: the Model 1922, the Model 1922-M1, the Model 1922-M2(upgraded parts, additional stamping - including another 'I' after the one on the 'M1' and some marks on the bolt, etc.), Model 1922 NRA variation.
From what I've read on the Jouster rimfire forum, most of the military guns have been refinished/parkerized. A pristine blue, unrefinished example just sold at auction for $4,000.
Long story short, last year's Blue Book lists:
1922-M1 in 98% condition at $2000.
1922 NRA in 98% at $2250.
1922-M2 in 98% at $1200.
