I have a Dan Wesson 357 revolver with 4in barrel made in Monson. Serial number is 1430xx. 

Can someone tell me what year this was made?

After looking at the registry to compare your serial to those in the registry, it appears yours originally sold around 1978 - 1981.  I’m curious what others with more experience have to say.

Welcome to the dwf from central IL!!

I have been told that 102731 is from 1979..but..My guess is that, that too is a Guess...

Probably from 1977 to 1980 by the registry.

I think some time in 1977 is closest. By 1979 serial number is around 200,000..
