Why do some guns have a serial number preceeded by a letter and others only have a string of numbers? Is there anything significant about a letter prefix?
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Not sure on the average Dan's. I know you could order a Dan Wesson with your choice of serial numbers! Some of the numbers were added or caliber added in the Wesson years.

Although a much needed update to this ongoing study is needed, here's my hypothesis on this subject from a couple years ago. LINK This will get you in the ballpark, but I'll try to do a further fine-tuning to that 1st thread post during the holidays.
