Can you educate me on the value of a 7445 I am new to the supermags but would like to add one to my Dan family, what years were they made and at what locations? The one I found does not have the cut outs along the shroud but has the slots in the end of the barrel anything you can tell me would be appreciated and excuse my ignorance on the subject.

They were made at all locations.  Look at the right side of the frame and it will say where it was made.  Sounds like you're looking at a Norwich gun or maybe a very late Palmer gun.  It also sounds like the gun has cross-cut slots at the end of the shroud which would make it a compensated BA (barrel assembly).  So I'm going to guess that the BA is a type VH#C.  That would mean a vented, heavy, the # is the length of the actual barrel not counting the 1-1/2 inch expansion chamber at the front, and the C represents compensated.

These sell for anywhere from about $1100 to about $2000, depending on condition and whether the box, manual and tools are included.

goodluck

Zoommb, I have only seen it once but as you say I believe it is a Norwich, it is a vh8c, does not have any box, papers or tool, but overall  cond it very good. I have been watching the auction sites and these don't appear to be very common, Thanks for the info.
