I was poking around a few of my favorite rural gun shops today. I was a bit surprised to find an old DW revolver in the case. I looked it over through the glass, then walked on by. 

I knew I was kidding myself because I had always been fond of DW revolvers, but never owned one.

So after having the shop owner retrieve it for me, I asked him what he knew about the gun. It was a gun he purchased from the window of a long time customer of his. That was the original owner that bought the gun new.

The paperwork indicated that it was a 1981 model 44. It had a 10 inch barrel. Also had a 6 inch barrel with it. It obviously had seen some use, but not much. The serial number is 010199... from Monson. I'll try to post a picture of it.

It's a nice one and I'm looking forward to learning more about this and spending some range time with it. I've always loved 44s so this will be fun.

This thread has a lot of good general information about DW's and is a great place to start your knowledge base.
