Hello Gentlemen,

I found this website, and really enjoy it thus far, I have aquired a Dan Wesson Model 715 3inch and Have yet to shoot it yet.  I won this gun at acution and it didn't come with any paperwork or Box, I know there probably long gone, but want to know if there was a place or a way to

get the box for it.  I thought it would add to the value of the gun if I

could find these.

Aslo where these Houge grips that way from Factory?

I just bought a set of  NIB "pachmayr grips" (out of production I know) from ebay.

I'm just trying to add to the value of the gun best I can and wanted some Input/advise?

Pics included

 

Enjoy.

welcometo the forum. What you have appears to be a 715 fixed barrel. Yes the grips are probably factory origional. Finding a box will be a long shot.  The best advice I can give is shoot it and enjoy it.

welcome CrazyHorse, Sometimes stuff like the boxes show up on Gunbroker, ebay

or even here but one that will match your guns spec's exactly will be tough.

Lets see a pic when those Pach's come in wink

Boxes do come up on eBay and GunBroker from time to time... however the box for years is going to be marked Wesson Firearms and will probably be more difficult to find.

Nice looking Fixed Barrel you have there.... Welcome to the forum!

Welcome as said boxes are the hard one!  I have a 714 love it shoots like a dream.  Not sure what grips these would have come with though I would have thought something marked either wesson or not marked!   Let us know what you find...   most ebay boxes are the monson style!  welcome

welcome aboard, great looking FB you have there.smile 

As these guys said, finding an original box will be tough. You may be able to find one on the auction sites. Here's the style to look for...
