Used Gem DAN WESSON .357mag 1974…

DAN WESSON 357 1Good evening all.  Yesterday brought a beautiful used weapon into the shop.  I haven’t posted about her till now as I ended up speaking with Dan Wesson up in NY a couple of times today trying to figure out exactly what I have here.  The investigation was more difficult than I would have guessed as this weapon was manufactured in the Monson, Massachusetts facility which was Dan Wesson’s first company plant.  Apparently, most of the records were lost for the early to late 1970s and about the only thing they could do for me was to narrow it down to a best guess year of manufacture which was 1974.  I happened to have been manufactured in 1974 too, and I wish I was in this kind of shape.  This Dan DAN WESSON 357 2Wesson .357mag Revolver is a 4″ barreled, 6 shot masterpiece with the original Blued Finish that is literally flawless.  You can see yourself in the bluing when you look at her.  Reminds me of that Royal Blue finish that Colt was so good at making for a number of years.  There isn’t even a dent in the wood stocks.  She actually has the original owners manual and the barrel key as Dan Wesson offered 2″ and 6″ barrels as accessories during that time period.  You won’t find a nicer example of this weapon.  As always, thank you for reading the Blog at gunshinearms.com
