Dan Wesson Serial Number Question

[Peter M. Eick]

Anyone have the range of serial numbers for the differen DW manufacturers?

I have a Monson MD15 with a serial number in the 300,000 range and was curious where it fit in the range of the Monson guns. As I understand it there were at least 3 different incarnations of DW and I was wondering what the serial number break points were and roughly what year they occured.

Thanks

Peter,
As I understand it, all that information was taken by the BATF and is probably lost forever.

Sorry!

Yeah I figured that, but I was hopeing that others had figured out where their serial numbers fit and I could "guesstimate" mine in.

Thanks.

Peter, it will be a week or so before I can get you some info, but I might can help out.

I've got a buddy with a 445 super mag, serial digit is in the low 200's. He even has some of the IHMSA headstamped brass. He was big into handgun silouette for several years. But he's in Texas on vacation this week.

I'll ask as soon as he gets back.

He is in Texas on Vacation, Heck, some of us call that home! Thanks. I live in Houston and also vacation here also.

I will be interested in hearing what he has to say.
