Thanks for joining and introducing yourself. That's a beautiful line up. Thanks for the pic. Can you tell us a little about them?

To the paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers:

if you find one...what's your plan?

Top is a commemorative ( WE THE PEOPLE) 9" 44 magnum. Unfortunately during shipping the factory white grips were broken. If anyone knows where to get it repaired or recreated thanks for the help.

Second is a  8" 44 mag with zebra wood grips

Third is a model 715 8" full lug vented 357 magnum with zebra wood grips

Forth is a model 15-2 8" full lug vented 357 magnum with zebra wood grips

And fifth is a model 22  6" full lug nickel plated. I just picked this up. Has a very low serial # of 6606. If anyone has any information and value on this gun it would be greatly appreciated.

dwf-welcomeThat's a great collection! Clearly you have dwas

I think you also like Zebra grips - but who doesn't.big-grin

Can't tell you much about the nickel 22, except I like it. Saw it at a local gun show a couple of times, but just couldn't pay the asking price. It was all I could do to walk away. It looked better every time I saw it. If you really like it then it's worth whatever you paid for it.laugh

One of the other members may be able to fill in some blanks for you.

Enjoy.

Mark,

At the first show, some months back, he wanted 1,300. I didn't try to dicker.

At the show in the last 2 weeks, he started at 1,100 and after talking trades to him, he said he would take 875 cash. I suspected I get it a bit lower, but I was afraid he might go low enough that I couldn't resist, so I passed.

Hope you got a good deal. It was hard to put it down.smile

You should also contact LB (see side bar ad on the right).

He is a true artist and craftsman. I'm guessing that your original grip was white with a large shield type medallion. He may be able to make a new grip like it and put the medallion in. Here's one he did for me (I had the gold medallions custom made & LB put them in the grip) It's made from faux ivory that I purchased and furnished to LB:

Very nice,  great to hear from another member from Florida. I suspect a lot of Dans will end up here as we all get older.
