Recent discussion with my local Gunsmith, who is very very knowledgeable on all things guns including lots of knowledge on Dan Wesson …he made a passing comment that the monsoon Guns with serial numbers from 100,000 to 199999 had the best bluing. he said since you are a collector, you should focus on that serial Range.
I’m coming to the Dan Wesson well of knowledge… is there any truth to this or is it just a wives tale?
Thanks

I have never heard of a serial number range associated with better bluing and believe that's hard to believe. In my inventory, other than the Models 11, 14, 14-2, 15, and 15-2, none of the serial numbers even approach 6-digit. Reaching 6 digit probably became even more scarce once the prefixes were added. I don't own a Palmer made DW, so I don't know personally, but general statements lead me to believe they had a better finish. However- it all comes down to ownership care and maintenance.
