why your not selling your gun or something like that" Well maybe s o m e o n e would
inlighten me on this maybe there might have been some forum talk recently. I have a Alaskan Guide in the GUNBROKER.COM I started out at about $1800.00 as a open and I think $1850.00 for the least I would accept a buy it now for$2050.00 anyway I changed all of this because I was trying to do a trade for a 1999 Chevy Suburban 2500 4x4 a few weeks back so now the guy got back to me and changed his mind he wants to do a trade for it so to compensate the difference this suv is no junk plus some change well anyway first take a look before you put the horse in front of the cart.

Are you asking us why you haven't gotten any bids? Are you asking us if your price is high/low? I'm just trying to understand what you want to know.
Personally speaking, only for myself, the gun is too expensive for me to consider it.

You don't have to do any explaining to anyone. The gun is basically worth what the market is willing to pay. If it sells, it's worth what you're asking. If it doesn't, you're asking too much. It looks like it's the same gun that just sold recently, which was put together from parts and a new barrel assembly from Norwich.

Whatever you do with it I would certainly unload it before you do a photo shoot next time.

Yes I know it was loaded and I don't really think of myself as over confident but I knew it was loaded for the shoot then unloaded it to show the cylinders' I was brout up not to bring a loaded gun in the house anytime but the only time was hunting season because that was the only time we took them out" NOW it's a little differant depending were you live.SO I WAS WONDERING DID ANYONE EVER HEAR WHAT THE # OF ALASKAN GUIDES WERE MADE ?

I'm glad you came here to ask- Welcome.
First- my experience is only with my AGS. I purchased it for $700-$900 (I have conflicting notes), +shipping and FFL fees. The only AGS production I am aware of is during the Norwich production era. Not to say it didn't start in the Palmer area- I'm just not aware of it.
According to notes I have, the AGS was introduced in 2002 (Norwich) and every one I've seen, albeit only three, had the same barrel markings: On the right side: a "First Issue" crest with a number that matches the serial number. On the left side, a DW trademark. EDIT/// The Palmer era AGS has the Supermag marking on the BA.////
The 2012 Standard Catalog of Firearms (which considers auction pricing), places the purchase point for an excellent grade AGS at $800, NIB at 1K EDIT///for the Norwich and the Palmer is priced at $700 for EXC, $950 for NIB..///
IMO, and only my opinion, the example you have is a Palmer era 7445 EDIT///(maybe AGS?)///, which has a Yukon coated BA by a former owner, and marked with AGS markings- but not all of them. /// At any rate- I believe it is a put-together AGS, not original production///
Best Regards, Ron

It could be all original; there is nothing definitive to say it's not. I'm just pointing out the discrepancies, based on only my opinion (not definitive). Better pictures and a picture of the tag on the box may help a bit. Still, I'd guess that about $1.3K is the upper limit for the gun if everything checks out.

I was going to suggest that...why don't you include some pictures of the box, and more importantly some pictures of the markings on the right side of the frame. That would clear everything up. As it is now the photo's don't show the markings - it's kinda important.

I just looked at your Gun Broker ad, and I see that you added a photo of the case and tag on the case, which seems to clear up some of the questions with this gun.
This gun appeals to a pretty narrowly focused group of shooters:
1) They need to know and like Dan Wesson revolvers
2) The real attraction of a DW revolver is the ability to change barrel length quickly. Much more difficult on this gun because extra barrels are virtually non-existent.
3) You have to want a very powerful, short barreled gun. This is a 4", with the ballistics to match, but holsters and handles like an "almost" 6".
4) It is pretty much required to reload your own ammunition if you're going to shoot .445 SM
5) A starting point of $2000+, and a reserve, and no Buy Now, for all of the above reasons, means that you are looking for a very special buyer, and that may be a very long wait.
As harly pointed out, this gun is worth whatever a buyer will pay. If the marketplace is not responding at all, the marketplace is sending a message.
I offer all of these comments with respect, and in no way do I say that this gun is not worth the money.
I know a bit about these guns, but I am not the expert some of the others here are. Two years ago "I" bought New in Box, unfired, Serial # 0000001 (non AGS marked) of this gun for less than a third of your reserve. Admittedly, that was an exceptional buy, and it is actually my son's gun.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
