Man, that thing is SEXY! What did you use to clean it? I use a little "Mother's Mag Polish" on my stainless guns once in a while. They really shine when you caress them a little.

DW used a "Satin Blue" electroless nickle finish on some of the very first 44's. I have one with a three digit serial number. It looks a lot like the Colt Electroless nickle, slightly bluer in shade. - dan

The first 500 44 mag were finished in a "Dove Gray" finish. If that is what you are talking about I don't think it was nickel.

They were bead blasted stainless.

Really? The first DW stainless? 44 before 715? I think I need to find one of them. They sure don't show up often.

The Dove Grey guns are bead blasted stainless, I don't know if the were first, or just commemorated the new 44 line. They did a run of 250 engraved and another run of 250 without engraving. They came in wood presentation cases with certificates. I have one of each although the non engraved is nicer look in my opinion.
The card only says they are in a special Dove Gray finish, but doesn't say it's stainless. A magnet will stick to it but all my stainless Dans also attract a magnet.

I don't think it was stainless as they weren't producing stainless revolvers at that time. I'll have to dig out the box and see what the tag says. I held both an engraved version and an unengraved version in my hands at the time (79 or 80) and went with the unengraved version. - dan

Yes, 250 engraved and 250 not. They were the first 44 mags. I don't think they are stainless but I have been known to be wrong and to make rash decisions 🙁. Just ask my wife.
