Seems it's valued at $500-600. Would you know what year it was made?

I found this Monson 22 at my LGS and am wondering how the "Dan Wesson Arms" became cut down to "sson Arms" Â LoL
Barrel cut down maybe?
Also am I close at saying this is a 79-80 made gun?

Thx!

Please visit New Members and tell us more about you and this gun.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Model 15-2; Agreed, not a supermag and it's been refinished. Laser engraving on the left side is probably a nick name added by a previous owner- not an OEM marking. FO sight is aftermarket as well.

 Hi. I recently picked up 2 DW .357s that I am trying to positively identify model and date.  Serials are 303xxx and 119xxx.  Also, would one of these be a better keeper than the other, based on value, serial#, quality, sights, etc?  Any help/advice is appreciated.

Hi! I browsed around here trying to find more info on my gun but to no avail. Maybe I didn't browse long or hard enough...Any way, I'm new here and I'm really happy to have found this group. I love my gun and I've had it for about 3 years. I'd just like to hopefully narrow down what date my gun was manufactured or get any and all information on it that I possibly can. Thank you!
Â
P.S. I was cleaning my gun last night and noticed the logo emblem was sticking out a bit, when I went to push it back in it had turned a bit. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

No worries this is common. Â Remove the grip from the revolver then look in the cavity where the grip stud would go. You should see a small hole where the back of the medallion goes. Use a right angle tool such as an o ring pick, or a small allen wrench will do sometimes, to push the medallion out from the inside. If the medallion is loose a small drop of glue may be needed. Just remember to be sparingly with the glue as you may want to remove them someday.
There is a whole thread somewhere on here discussing this.

Guys, just picked up my first Dan Wesson. Sort of understand the model designation. It should be a Model 14 or 14-2? Serial number is 282xxx.
I got the gun, metal barrel wrench, and an aftermarket holster.
Any idea on date of manufacture? From reading, I am guessing early 80's?
I have read that these style grips are desirable, but would they be origional?

That is a model 14-2, date of manufacture was 1980 and those are not original Dan Wesson grips.
