I am so thankful and greatful to be a part of this forum. It is nice to meet you all. I am trying to get some help determining the value of my stainless steel Dan Wesson .44 Mag...I am assuming it is a model 44. The only stamIMG-20170924-WA0000.jpegImage Enlarger

pings I can see outside the serial number is CTG.  It has a 6" barrel with a Hogue grip. Please see the pics IMG-20170924-WA0002.jpegImage Enlarger

Hi Sonny, welcome to the forum. In stainless, that would be a 744. Hard to tell in those pictures, but it looks to be in great shape.

A couple of things;

Can you tell us more about you and your Dan?

if you find one...what's your plan?

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.

Greetings Sonny and welcome to the forum,

 

Good looking gun...forum members will be asking the following questions.

Do you have the box/tools that the gun might have with it?

Any particular reason for wanting to know the value?

Do you have any close up pics of the cylinder open and top strap exposed?

If you have the time to post a few more pics and answer some relatively simple questions, you will get a very accurate appraisal here.

Kind Regards,

Scott

Nice looking Dan and very pleasant to shoot in that configuration even with full magnum loads. Enjoy!

Welcome.  Barrel shroud says it’s a “.44 Magnun CTG” (abbreviation for cartridge).

Thank you gentleman for all of your replies. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to respond, but I have been under the weather the last few days. I am interested in the value, because I need to sell it. I am trying to raise the funds to complete repairs in my truck. I honestly hate to have to sell it, but I don't know any other options right now. I have had this pistol since the 90's, and I am not sure where the factory box is.

I will try to take more pictures when I get home from work and post them. Thank you all for your replies.

So sorry about your predicament. If it in the shape it appears to be and has no box or too and  Pachmyer gripl I would opine it is worth 650 to 700

Welcome to the group Sonny...two suggestions for you.

1. Read THIS if you intend to offer the revolver for sale here on the forum.

2. Dump the picture with the channel locks in it...not the kind of tool someone wants to see with a pistol they are thinking about buying.

JMHO...

Good luck!

Sorry about that. That is my reloading table and that tool isn't used on any of my fire arms. I just use it for tightening die collars and misc things
