Dusty, thanks for scanning those.Cool The brochure is especially informative & explanatory. I had no idea that you could order a grip 'blank' so you could whittle your own custom grip, that's pretty cool.

My pleasure.

DW had some great innovations back then!

There is an ol' boy out here in Beaumont that advertises on GB new old stock Hogue exotic wood & walnut DW blanks that you can still buy - IMHO they are a bit pricey, but they are there and I think they are original.

I would like to see full document packages from as many years as possible on our file tab, that way anyone could print original chronologically accurate documents to go with their fine Dan Wesson pistol or pac.  There is also the opportunity to turn up and post highly informative and unique historical factory communications like the '76 letter that Rash had.  Treasure!!  Information you could never find otherwise.  We need as much of that as we can find!!

If we are lucky Seth, jr. might come up with some chestnuts we can add to the site.

If I was any good at whittling wood without screwing it up, I might just get one of those...but alas, I fear I'd just ruin it. LOL!Laugh

I hope Seth digs up some good stuff too, I'm enjoying learning new things about these unique guns.
