I assume you are asking about a Smith & Wesson Model # 17.
If so, it is a 6 shot .22 cal. revolver, sometimes refered to as a "K-22 masterpiece". The "K" stands for the particular S & W frame size. This is a very finely made revolver, quite often used in target competition.
There is no Navy rate or rank "SW"; SW is a warfare specialty designation that stands for Surface Warfare, or one who has completed qualifications for the SW badge. It's equivalent to a submariner's dolphins badge, or an aviator's wings.
Wannsee is in SW Berlin.
Made from 1972-1984. What it's worth depends on if you are buying, selling, using cash, plastic, what gauge, accessories, overall condition, etc.. Price range 150-300.
Auto shotguns most often jam because they need a thorough cleaning. If the gun is clean, it may need adjustment or repair. You are best off toaking the gun to a gunsmith for assessment.

The manufacture date of a specific SW model can vary depending on the model and production year. Typically, you can find the manufacture date on the product label, in the user manual, or within the device's settings if it's an electronic product.
