So this revolver was presented to my Grandfather by Dan Wesson Arms in 1981, just before he retired from his job as Chief engineer. There are another 249 guns in this special production line which was used as in introduction to their new .44Mag. It was passed to my Grandmother after his death, and then was passed down to his oldest grandson, my older brother. My Grandfather was Paul E. Brouthers, who if you look through the Dan Wesson patent filings, was responsible for much of the Model 44. If anyone else has one of these limited production guns I would love to see them.

I have one of the engraved guns and one from the second run of non engraved dove gray guns. This isn't the best pic, but it does show the pair. Beautiful guns and its good to know your grandfather was the guy who made these possible.

Here is a better pic of the engraved gun. Somebody shined it up prior to my getting it. Someday I may get it bead blasted.

This is too cool! We have the bookends to this special model run right here in this thread! MM, thanks so much for posting the story and 
of this gun.
Willy, I am glad you were able to get this one. If you ever decide to sell, I would love first crack at it.

I have #401 but I have it up for sale right now. I do have the original box (Styro) with manual, paperwork, tool and brush! I'm letting it go and a Commemorative "We The People" to help fund a more rare gun. They both are on Guns International! I think you can have two types of collections. The first is the "money is no object" collection where you have lots of money and can just keep everything you buy or the second collection is the I have just so much money collection" that's where you let some guns go to fund better or more rare guns or the "always upgrading collection" as you leave the "I don't have any idea what i'm doing" stage and enter the " i'm learning" and you can let some of your early purchases go and hopefully make a few bucks to help buy the better, more rare guns!
