Was it someone on here that scored the Elgin # 11 yesterday on GB? I saw it had a decent amount of bids placed on it.

I recognized scout738 on there and you, but not that familiar with older members here especially if they haven't posted in the last year or so.

I understand as he does not post often, he really wanted that revolver and got a pretty good deal.

I thought about throwing my hat in the ring but not all that familiar with the revo side of DW's.

I had bid to maintain the value of mine or get it cheap. 😈. I am one of those older members, literally 😁. My wife signed me up on Gunbroker as Mr.Man

I thought that was you. Was the final selling price good/fair/high in your opinion (info for the next time)?

I predicted 2500. My bid was designed not to win unless I got a deal. The winning bid plus 7 % sales tax, 1%Gunbroker windfall tax, and $80 shipping plus FFL fee pushes the price over my prediction. I am glad Scott won it. I am sure it isn't his first though😂.
ETGs are the only Dan Wessons that increase in value because of the serial number IMHO.

I went out @ just over $2K. I already broke the bank this month with another 740 and Vigil CCO....both arriving soon I hope. I'd like the ETG 722, but priced out for a .22.

I'm pretty ignorant regarding DW revolvers. Got my first .44 just a couple weeks ago and have yet to pick up the .357 Pistol Pack I bought recently (will post about that shortly).
With the Supermag, what is special about the ETG guns? Is there a handy info sheet to read? : ) It seems that this went for more than what a "bare" .445 SM sells for. Are the .445 guns selling for much more than .357 Max? I actually know where a .357 Max is available with two barrels and some other accessories, but I have not bought it because I don't know what it should go for. GB doesn't show a lot of "sold" history for any of the Big DWs.
Thanks!

ETG: Elgin T. Gates is the designer of the Supermags. If you get one of his guns, then you ghave something really special. Did you get .357 Max?

When they say the gun was number #11, how many were actually produced?
Was that #11 of the blued version? Or was that #11 of all 445’s?

I believe that they made 25 in each model of the SuperMag calibers.

One more question LOL.
Would they have started the serial number at 100?
The reason I ask, my serial number ends S103.
My gun is a 445 stainless.

Gates recieved the first 25 Supermags made in each caliber. The have the ETG in the serial number. I think 103 is just that, the 103rd gun of the regular production. The Supermag were also made available to IHMSA members with the serial number being IHMSA and their IHMSA number. They could be also an A, B, or C depending on how many they ordered. Same scenario for the Field Pistol Packs.
II think the prices of the 445/7445 ETGs and the 40/740ETGs are similar. The 375SM sells for less usually. I think they are only in blue. I am not sure if there is an ETG 375. I think the 7414 were marked Palmer. Only 25 or 29 were made there. There were only stainless. More were made in Norwich. Stainless and some few blue guns.
ETG roll marked guns are identical to the regular production. They seem to be the only Dan Wessons that sell for a premium because of the serial number.

My 7445 serial number starts with ETG.
It just seems funny that it ends with S103 if there were only 25 made.
I did see sometime in the last year or so someone mention they had S105. It also was an ETG 445.
