Hi all, I'm considering buying a Dan Wesson 445 super mag from a family friend and was wondering what a fair price for it should be. It says it was made in Palmer, Massachusetts and the serial number starts with 445S. I believe it's got an 8-in barrel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum from PA! Does it have its barrel tool/box/papers, etc? Any other pics to help evaluate?

Thanks for the warm welcome! Regarding pictures, that is the only one I have currently of the pistol in question. I don't believe it has its barrel tool, box or papers but it does come with around 100 brass. Some loaded ammo on top of that. It will also come with bullet molds and reloading dies.

That is a 6" Compensated barrel assembly, which requires a special lengthened barrel tool.
I'm thinking $1,000 to $1,200 depending on condition and accessories included. Ammo is a couple bucks a round.

I think EWK still lists these wrenches. Sold out now but you can get on his list.

Kurt, just curious when you bought that 445? If it's recent, you got a sweet deal!

4/19/22 so just over a year ago. I always seem to overpay because of my raging DWAS!!
