I just bought my first DW . 357 . I'm still unsure what model it is or any other info. Thought I'd join to learn about it.Â

Unfortunately, I can't add pictures as I'm on my phone. My lap top is out of commission. I'm in Cedar Rapids. 
thanks for the warm welcome.Â

Are the rear sights fixed as well as the front? did you get a takedown wrench and shim to adjust the barrel?

No I did not. it was the gun , and a crappy holster. I know these aren't the best pictures but its the best I can do. Ie looked at all the stickies on here and honestly ... i'm not seeing the lineup. I took the grips off because to be honest I hated them and have new on order.

You're doing well so far Zarmalar, the folks here will get you the info you need.
That for sure looks like a model 14-2 (fixed rear sights, non-porkchop barrel shroud), what is referred to as a "Service" revolver (vice a "Target" model 15 which has adjustable rear sights), with I think a 4" barrel.
If you post the S/N (on the side of the first pic) there are some helpful gents that will get you the manufacture date (mark the last two digits of the S/N as "##").
What grips did it have and what did you order? I think you can ignore the "writing" on the tang (the second pic), something the previous owner(s) would have put on it.
