Hi All,

I am a new member today.  I have a Special Collectors Production Run #2 .44 Mag with the Rosewood Grips and Pewter Medallions.  It is in a fitted presentation case with a certificate of authenticity and is a one of 250 made.  I have had it about 25 years and have never shot it.  The guy who sold it to me said it was only test fired at the factory but I think he fired it a few times himself.  It is in excellent condition.  I also had a 744 and shot it a lot when I was reloading myself but sold it awhile back and have just kind of been sitting on the Collectors piece.  I was thinking about selling it or consign it to an auction house.  Anyone guess a value?

Welcome Steve.  Two of those have shown up on GB in the last few months.  However, I can't remember what they sold for, so I'm no help there.

We would like to see pics, though, and maybe someone here will be interested.  You might want to post it in our classified section.  And don't forget the pics.lol2

Taco Tuesday? Smile

I didn't know they did that.  I'll have to try it.  We usually do Chipotle when we do Mexican.

Do you still shoot? If so, where?

BTW, you'll find a link in the right-hand column about posting pics.  We usually use Photobucket to host them.  It's a free site.

Welcome to DWF, sounds like you have a great DW there. If the paperwork includes any kind of info the includes a manufacture date, original purchase date, dated factory letter, etc. our Serial Number Registry could sure benefit from info like that:

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.

Here is a try for posting a link to Photobucket.  I am not sure how to post the photos themselves but will have at it.  I am a little technology challenged lately...

Thanks Mike...

I have not been shooting in a long time.  A freind of mine shoots at a range in Northern IL. 

Do you want to meet on Tuesday?  I usually have a few guys who meet at El Famous.
