I am a 1911 enthusiast owning several of different makes. I own 2 S&W, 3 Sigs, 2 RIA, 1 Para, and 1 Taurus. I will own a Dan Wesson shortly.
I came to this site to get info on a used Pointman with serial# MR00092. It is being sold on consignment, but I can't find the true value. The owner claims it was hand made by Dan Wesson (not CZ), but I would like to verify. Thanks in advance for any info.
1911
45 ACP
5" barrel
Blue Finish
grip panels - wood - oak or redwood?

Any better info on which Pointman model it is?
THIS might help on ID'ing it
edit to add: This is copied from a post on the same page that I linked, comes from a Moderator there that seems knowledgeable, referencing S/N # MR0116x
"MR indicates a Pointman Minor. Pre-CZ production, I couldn't tell you when (DW didn't correspond it to the serial number until 2004) but the low number indicates 2001 or 2002."
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.

If anyone can give you an answer it is Steve CT but he may need a little more info.

Thanks for the info. I am heading to the dealer now to pick it up. I called and offered 500$ (asking $750 reduced to $600) and the owner accepted. I hope I didn't act to quickly as it has some marring on the frame below the barrel.

As long as it functions properly, no way did you go wrong at $600

OK then...I bought it for $500 and it is fully functional and just has some minor cosmetic issues. It is a PM2 Minor.
I have pictures, just need to find how to insert.

Nice score, the gun looks better than you described. I'd have grabbed it at that price myself.

Thanks. I just need to clean her up good and take her for a test run. Maybe next weekend I'll get a chance to go to the range.
