Has 375 SuperMag revolver ever been made in stainless steel? I saw a picture of one today, but there was something strange, I think….never heard about one and all those I’ve seen have been blued. The strange thing was that gun had Palmer address and the caliber marking was different from the address text, like someone had taken away metal and then made a new caliber marking deeper than the original (which I assume has been 357 max). The gun is bright brushed stainless, but all Palmer- made stainless SuperMags I have seen earlier are matte-brushed. So, can the gun be original, or am I over-suspicious when thinking that the gun is a conversion made by some gunsmith?

From what I can tell looking at the DW Serial Registry, they were only produced in blued.

Yeah, that is just what I thought.

They only came in Blue if you could post the pic you saw it would be interesting to see what they did to make a 375

I wonder if they gave it a brushed nickel finish?

Since any SuperMag shroud will fit any SuperMag frame, you cannot assume the caliber stamped on it matches the barrel caliber, with previously owned revolvers.

I’m quite sure it is not nickel or chrome finished, but a 357 Maximum converted to 375… because the caliber marking looks odd both on frame and on shroud. I could post a picture here, if I only knew how to do it…

didn't Reeder Customs convert some DW's to GNR 375 (a necked down 445?)

Are you using a smart phone (iPhone?) to log into DWF or a Windows based PC or something else?

Yeah, pics or a link would surely help disseminate whether or not a stainless 375 does/did exist.
Myself, I have yet to see a stainless 375, but as with all things DW, you never know. Once one is convinced that one doesn't exist, two months later someone new surely pops up with a "1-of-2" (or whatever) DW in his hand that blows that preconceived idea out of the water. Basically, I'd like to see the proof of this. I would love to finally put to rest the idea of a stainless 375 out there somewhere. 
And then of course I would put up crazy dollars to obtain such a specimen... Muuaahhaaa!
