Hello to all! I'm Murph, down and dirty, 17 years combined 3 services, DAV. Been collecting for many years now. Just recently found a gentleman selling a group of weapons he had collecting dust. Made offer and bought the lot. See pics. I am here on this site because of the DW W12 Pac set in the lot. I am sure many who saw my earlier replies in the W12 forum, may not have accepted the S/N 3 I have and that's ok cause I was shocked also. So in the pics I have shown the die stamp. If I am incorrect please advise.
Thanks
Murph

The 3 stamped on the post is not the serial #, it may be in the crane if not on the frame.

Nice pac regardless of the serial number.
Nice score!

I believe he means on the frame, behind the crane. Unlock the cylinder, move to the open position and inspect the frame on the inside of that area.

Love it! That wood block looks pretty. Jealous. There is one of these currently up on auction. It would be a pretty low number but probably higher then "3". Look inside the crane, as mentioned. I suspect you will find two or three different stamping in there.

The early W12's were stamped on the grip tang, although mine are stamped on the left side. I haven't seen a single digit W12 before, so I suppose that #3 could be the serial number. Here's my two...
Make sure you don't have a number stamped here, under the crane...
Nick, I also notice that your case is incorrect for an early W12. That case came along toward the end of the W12's & early model 15's. The correct case should look like this...
I guess it's possible that it may have been swapped at some point. Congrats on finding your W12 Pac, and thanks for showing it off!

Chargerfan, I have a W12 pac with the black case that looks like Nick's. Do you think these were late runs or perhaps cobbled together?

I have a black case like that too .. it's for the 15 Pacs.

I'd say yours is likely a late run, especially if yours is deeper into the 4-digit serial numbers. The pic above of the 7400 serial number is from a W12 Pac from a GB auction a few years ago, that was in the same case as yours. They also used the same cases when the model 15 Pacs were introduced.
Thanks Willy, I sure like 'em!
