Dan Wesson Forum Serial Number Registry


Serial number data is based on information provided by members of the Dan Wesson Forum. No records are available from the various Dan Wesson companies, and we rely records/recollections of original purchasers, paperwork retained with the pistol, dated barrel wrappers, etc. to determine an approximate date of manufacture. Anyone with valid data of this type is asked to complete this form with the following information:

 

  • * Model
  • * Serial Number (replace last digit with an “x”)
  • * Description of data to support year of manufacture

 

All of the valid serial number data we have available is presented here. Please DO NOT email requests for serial number information or verification. The Serial Number Registry will be updated regularly as new information is received.
