Is there such a thing as Dan Wesson 357 Alaskan? An Armslist seller claims to have one available for $700. http://www.armslist.com/posts/268721/charleston-south-carolina-handguns-for-sale--several-guns
I'm trying to send him an email to get pictures but it doesn't seem to be going through. I can't afford it right now, so if its real and somebody here wants it,

We know by now that with DW almost anything is possible, but no pictures and no response to several contacts is ???
I actually have a way out there project of finding a beater 15-2 4VH and getting it refinished just like an AGS.
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.

Yeah, but for me it fits in for 15-2, 715, 15-2 Nickel, 715 bright polished, all in 4VH.

Maybe the guy means he bought the gun from someone in Alaska.
Scorpio, I have DW's name for the AGS finish written down here somewhere, but I sure can't seem to find it tonight. 
You watch, once I stop looking for it, it will be right on top.

Was it cera-kote or something? I could be confused!!

You mean like this one? This is a one-off factory (Monson) set in reversing gold and flat black finishes with custom serial #'s JCPD-XXXX, manufactured for the Jerrsey City Police Dept. The color combination is what I used as a model for the .22 pac I recently customized in hard chrome. If you do one in flat-black you'll like it - they look nice.

I think it is something called Yukon Cote and IIRC Bob Serva is still using it at Fusion

Awww crud! I was hoping for a 6" ported barrel with a full lug shroud in 357 supermag with that black finish and with ivory grips and silver DW medallions. Oh well, I couldn't buy it anyway.
Harley, those are really good looking. Thanks for the
