dwf-welcome to dwf  Rainer !

That is a model 15-2 with Vented Rib barrel assemblies. Looks like a pistol pack without the case and other stuff. I'm guessing 1978 or '79 on the manufacturing date.

Welcome aboard Roland! There is a wealth of information to be gleaned here...both in the forum posts and from the members themselves.

Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself as well as your nice looking .357 set?

If you click HERE you can see what a complete pistol pak might look like. Keep in mind it could be a different model, different barrel assembly styles, or a different combination of grip styles.

The pak itself is a hard vinyl, lockable attache case believed manufactured by Samsonite. An empty pak case can bring $150 to north of $300 depending on condition.

Good luck!

Welcome.  I'm guessing you live in Germany?  It may be difficult to find everything you need to make a pistol pack.  Just go shoot and enjoy!

hi all again,

 

i am from austria (europe).

i am collecting mosin nagant rifles 91/30 finnland markings - especially Suojeluskunta

now i began to collect high end centerfire pistols and in my opinion a dan wesson should be also be a part of it

like a Manurhin MR 73 or an korth revolver all in .357 magn. of course 😉

so, i hope this was anought introduction for u, from me....

 

best regards all here!

This is a very nice introduction. Thanks and Welcome to DWF

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.
