Erma Model, ET 22, "Navy Model"

I hope this is the correct board to post this question in? If not I would appreciate if the moderator(s) would transfer it to a more appropriate one.

This is the version with the 11+" barrel. Got it in a trade recently, with original box. Function is problematical, even CCI Mini-Mags, aren't hot enough for the mechanism to cycle. Took it apart cleaned and lubed it, to no avail.

Anybody have a ideas on how to make it function correctly? Also how many of this particular model was made? ( only have run into a few others over the years ). Does it have any particular collectors/enthusiasts value? The proof date is 1968, with the Munich proof house crest. Serial number is 61XXX range. Pistol appears to be excellent condition other then the "paint" (not anodized) finish on the grip area has been pretty much worn off. All that remains is a faded grey patina. Thanks in advance, to all who respond.
