Those marks look very similar to another Rhino currently for sale (a little hard to see in this pic)...
Â
The milled cut in the shroud looks just like the one in THIS ARTICLE that Shoot scanned for us a while back. Comparing these two with what's in the article, I am fairly certain that Charlie Clemens was the gunsmith.
Also, I assume the "7" on your shroud and the "10"(?) on the one in my pic refers to the number of conversions done thus far.

I thought it might be a Clemens (thought or hoped, not entirely sure). Â The seller was told that the "7" was the "serial number" so that lines up with your comment. Â Thanks for the help! Â Â

44 Rhino was like the 445 Prototype, that is Dan Wesson original stamping.
Â
Here is the original article dated 1988
https://www.danwessonforum.com/dwf-content/articles/Rhino0001.pdf
One year before the 1989 445 test article
Â
I have one in my sights for $550.00 looks new, everyone else sells them for $1000.00

Have a link to the 1989 test article? Or maybe magazine/date? Thanks! Don

Don, it is July 1989 G&A. There are a few available on Epay.
Also, I scanned & posted the Jan '88 article on the Rhino >HERE<
