I am a 1911 enthusiast owning several of different makes.  I own 2 S&W, 3 Sigs, 2 RIA, 1 Para, and 1 Taurus. I will own a Dan Wesson shortly.

I came to this site to get info on a used Pointman with serial# MR00092.  It is being sold on consignment, but I can't find the true value.  The owner claims it was hand made by Dan Wesson (not CZ), but I would like to verify.  Thanks in advance for any info.

1911

45 ACP

5" barrel 

Blue Finish

grip panels - wood - oak or redwood?

Pointman

Any better info on which Pointman model it is?

THIS might help on ID'ing it

edit to add: This is copied from a post on the same page that I linked, comes from a Moderator there that seems knowledgeable, referencing S/N # MR0116x

"MR indicates a Pointman Minor. Pre-CZ production, I couldn't tell you when (DW didn't correspond it to the serial number until 2004) but the low number indicates 2001 or 2002."

Thanks for the info.  I am heading to the dealer now to pick it up.  I called and offered 500$ (asking $750 reduced to $600) and the owner accepted.  I hope I didn't act to quickly as it has some marring on the frame below the barrel.

As long as it functions properly, no way did you go wrong at $600

OK then...I bought it for $500 and it is fully functional and just has some minor cosmetic issues.  It is a PM2 Minor.  

I have pictures, just need to find how to insert.

Click ‘Attachments’, then click ‘Add Files’ and find the pics on your computer.

Please resize the pics to 640×480  and then click ‘Add Files’

Click ‘Upload’ button and then when done adding pics,

Click ‘Attachments’ again and then ‘Submit Reply’ when finished and ready to pos

Nice score, the gun looks better than you described.  I'd have grabbed it at that price myself.

Thanks.  I just need to clean her up good and take her for a test run.  Maybe next weekend I'll get a chance to go to the range.
