Dan Wesson revolver appraisel

[neomentat]

I have a Dan Wesson 5 inch fixed barrel revolver (.357) with full under lug and 90% bluing. I did some research and apparently the fixed barrel was only made in 1994-1995, I'm in CA and I'm not sure how much this revolver is worth. Does it have any collector value? No box or paper but the gun is in minty condition.

can someone plz fill me in on how much this one is worth in CA? not looking to sell just want to know it's fair market value or if it's a collectible, thanks.

Hard to say but I'd hang on to it in CA. I put a DW .357mag for sale at an auction in CA and it didn't do too well. Sometimes unless some knowledgeable gun owner spys one and is willing to pay accordingly, the general gun public doesn't seem to want to buy a DW over the name of Colt or S&W and resaleability suffers.

I see this a lot with Taurus especially, kind of like trying to sell a Harley over a Honda motrocycle, the Harley holds it's value better.

OTOH, I sometimes see quite high asking prices for DW revolvers in CA as they can be only attained thru a private in state transaction generally.
