Howdy Fellow Tar Heel. Glad I'm not alone. I think there are some Yankee's around here. Lol ! 15 - 2 huh? Well you have come to the right place. There is nothing these old boys don't know about Dan Wesson's. Except how to get CZ/USA Dan Wesson to start making Super Mags again. Sniff around this site.
If your a Dan Wesson Fan, your home now.

Thanks to all.
I couldn't find this topic so I am afraid I open a redundant one 
.
Even if I am slow sometimes, I think I learn from my mistakes...

The pic of the three guns...what IS the one on the far left?
Thanks for showing them off, they look great!

The one on the far left is a "cutaway" 44 6" un-fluted cylinder the frame has a few windows to see the inside mechanism, the only things missing being the firing pin and the firing pin spring. As they are not supposed to be fired the hole to the firing pin pin retainer is not drilled.
The barrel and cylinder are unfired of course and everything else is here.
I am planning to convince a better photographer than me to take a few shots then I'll put them here.

Great!
Myself (and many more of us) are highly interested in this one, if in fact, it's a legit DW piece. From my vantage point, it looks like one of those Chinese "plastic BB" guns, but the slight Barney factor on the frame gave me pause...

I think I saw that one on Gunbroker a while back. I almost bid on it but the nonfunctionality kept me from bidding. A very unique piece none the less.

I agree, an unfluted .44 cylinder is worth that price. I'm surprised it didn't bid higher.
That's a pretty neat gun, and so is the s/n. From what I can make out, the frame isn't marked with the usual Monson or Palmer roll mark? Also, what keeps it from being fired, is there no firing pin? With the frame being cut that far back, I don't think I'd want to make it functional, but I'm curious.

Sorry for my scarce answers, I am traveling out of the country and I am tired and a bit jet lagged.
I am the first surprised that the auction for this gun never really started. And glad of course I won it.
Unlike you, I have seen it for real, the GB pics were terrible and that's probably the reason I could steal it.
This gun is extremely difficult to photograph, it's shinning and any light ray generate a lot of reflects.
A few handling marks, a few scratches as is has been stripped a few times in his former life but a good general shape, blue on the barrel shroud is looking good and deep red on the frame (yes the frame is red) is not bad either.
An unfluted cylinder should run around $150 in my world but nobody said how much a 6" .44 never shot is going for with the shroud and nut. I estimated that just in parts I can get more than what my 744 has cost me.
Not selling. At least not before I am done with a little in depth research on this rarity.
And yes, firing pin not installed and firing pin retaining pin hole not drilled.
I think the gun has more value unshot and I will keep it like that.
