Hi everyone and Happy Labor Day tomorrow. I have a Dan Wesson .357 magnum 4” that was passed down to me. I’m trying to figure out what model it is and when it was made. Your help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Model 14-1, probably 1974 manufacture.

New to the forum, and posted this in the small revolver section thinking I had figured out what it was... several gents here commented and suggested posting here as well so..
Recently saved from destruction from a PD evidence locker... it sparked my interest in your forums and I started researching it here for my own knowledge. Really don't know much about Dan Wessons so figured this is a great place to learn. Anyway, it appears chrome or highly polished... very unique cosmetically as the owner must've liked gold plated accents... sharing with all of you...

You have a Model 15-2 21/2" with standard shroud circa 1978 or 79. It appears polished blue, as it left the factory but if you think it is aftermarket hard chrome it might be the photography that makes me think it is blue. The last photo with the red background does look different. Yes, the gold accents are custom.

Ole dog... thank you sir. Appreciate the reply. It's difficult to photograph but it looks like the chrome on my wheels. Sorry I can't get better pictures! I'm thinking I may keep this one in the collection rather than sell it.. just.. because...

Tried rwsem's suggestion out natural lighting ... maybe this is better? No direct sunlight but well lit. They look a lot better on the camera than the website. LOL

Definitely better pics. Now it looks chrome, not blue. In the old pics I thought for sure it was blue.

I have tried to go thru some of the forum and come up with a model and date.
Any help would be much appreciated. I have a Dan Wesson 357 Magnum with 2-1/2" barrel and rubber grip. Ser # 256442.
It is blued and has fixed sites. Was made in Monson.
I think it may be model 15 but not sure.
Does my serial number tell a model and date of man. maybe?

You have a Model 14-2 made around 1979 or 1980. A 15-2 has adjustable sights and polished finish.
