Clint welcome to the forum. You have a real beauty. You can check Gunbroker for ideas of value. My personal opinion is that if it is indeed unfires and immaculate, $1200-1500. Although if you try selling it at a loval gunshop they would probably try to offer half that

Thanks.  Definitely not selling it.  It was given to me when my old man passed 15 years ago.  Just never seen many dw around.  Is this very common to find one all together and not fired.

No it's not real common to find such a clean, original, unfired 15-2 Pack. Your dilemma now is "Shoot/Don't Shoot"!

I would always lean in the direction of "Shoot", BUT I have discovered that I am only really happy with the 4VH B/A's. The longer barrels don't mean much to me. 

OTOH, this is a legacy item, and I understand you wanting to keep it in the Family. Good news here is, you win no matter how you decide.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

dwf-welcometodwf..  That is a fine pistol pac you got your hands on.

I'm a lot like Steve, only in the other direction. To me there's nothing like a long fire stick....hehehe

That is a great looking vent heavy pack. Uncommon for sure and getting scarcer. Lonwolf is right but with a good write-up amd lots of high quality pictures it would be the higher number IMHO. I feel that your pack and Dan Wessons in general are very undervalued. My advise is to buy a used one to have fun with and pass on  the legacy. Maybe buy two or three more.

It crossed my mind to fire off a round or two in his honor.  But I figured he would roll over in his grave if I did. Lol. That was his baby. So im  gonna leave it un fired. I got plenty of other guns to shoot.

^^^What Steve said.

And since you won't be selling it....SHOOT IT!
