I have a lead on an original owner pistol pack in like new condition. Only about 50 rounds fired through it when he first got it (or so he says) comes with 2.5, 4, 6, 8 inch barrels as well as belt buckle, patch, case and wrench. It is a blued finish with stock Dan Wesson wood grips. Any idea on the value? I have some pictures I can email as I can't figure out how to upload the picture to here from my phone.

Welcome to the forum, price on complete  pack will vary on type of barrel shrouds.

A very nice pack will be  1000.00 - 1500.00 check out Gunbroker to see what some are selling for or have recently sold.

The gun is actually a 15-2 if that makes a difference. The barrels all look to be the vented heavy shroud.

in VH "Vent Heavy" configuration, and properly stored with no cosmetic issues, anything up to $1500 would be reasonable. Be aware that if a Pack like this went to Gun Broker, it would probably go for more.

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.

The only issue with the 2 1/2" is that it is lying 180 degrees from the others.

If you can get that Pack for $1100, BUY NOW.

The only circumstance in which I would mess with a lower offer is if you know that he won't get any other offers. The wrong person (for you) could start a bidding war that could push the cost up.

$1100 is really good for this Pack

I agree with Steve. Once you get it home, throw the Pac fabric in the wash, it's dirty!smile

Thanks for all your help! Steve I'm also in CT so if I get it, I'll let you know. And if I don't get it for some reason would you be interested?

Another CT Brother! Where are you?

My particular passion is 4" .357 Mag. I once pursued building a 715 Pack, gave it up when I realized that for me there are two perfect handguns, 4" .357 and  1911 Govt Model.

Here is my definition of perfection

PM  me, we can get together for lunch.

Thanks everyone, looking forward to next week Steve 

Although we can't shoot them at my local club, bring your pack along. We can check it out.

Excellent deal. The barrels alone are worth what you paid. We should all be so lucky.

The 2.5 inch barrel is just facing the opposite direction of the other ones in the pack, its fine.

(Muzzle is pointing to the right, instead of the left like the 4 and 8 and mounted 6 inch barrels)

You can tell by the cut out for the ejector shroud on the barrel, the barrel nut, and the Dan Wesson roll mark.

I've zoomed in on your picture some, and brightened it as well to help show this a bit more clearly.

There's nothing wrong with the 2.5 inch barrel, the pack, or the price. Hope this helps relieve your concerns some about the 2.5 inch barrel.

I would have bought it right NOW! I'd have hated it, if this became the one that got away.

Now that I have purchased DW .44 mag I found a very nice xtra 6" barrel. But the really good news (from reading all the replies) I just bought a DW 357 like new w/2.5-4-6-8" barrels,in the original case and even besides the 2 wood grips a Pachmayr. $650.00. Looks just like the one pictured but w/xtra grip.
