I recently purchased a Dan Wesson 445 from a nice old lady who’s husband had passed some time ago. The serial number on this revolver is: 445 S0019XX - Both the 445 at the beginning of the serial number and the last two digits of the serial number look like they were stamped in a slightly smaller font. I was wondering about approximate date of manufacture and value for a revolver of this type in very nice condition.

Thanks in advance, this my first post, so please forgive me if this is not the correct forum for a post of this type.

I would estimate the gun was made post 1986 but not long afterward.

"Very nice condition" is not enough to go by, for a valuation opinion .. we need some pictures.

Here are some pics of my first Dan Wesson. I know very little about this revolver, but I think it’s really pretty. Hope to shoot it this weekend.

Big Thanks to everyone who responds to this post.

Yes, it is really pretty. From what I can see in the pics, it is much more than "very nice condition" .. I'd go as far as "Like new, barely fired", so easily $1,200 plus.
