I purchased a few DW items from a member of another forum. Among them was a barrel wrench. It looks quite similar to a small brass door knob.The outer edge is serrated for a good grip and it has the DW logo in the center. It was in the original box along with a soft glove to store the revolver in and the hard foam for a 10" large frame. There was a cable style gun lock, a fired casing in a small manilla envelope (dated) and a DW decal. These items were inside the original DW shipping box for a Model 44V10 with the pertinent info for that revolver on a label form the Norwich, NY plant. I just wanted this neat looking barrel wrench. Can anyone tell me more about it? I haven't seen one before.

Its the wrench to remove the barrel nut and is usually referred to a a "door knob" wrench. I have a Norwich gun that came with one also. They work much better than the plastic ones that came with many guns. I usually use an EWK wrench for maint. work and keep the door knob for appearance use.

I knew what it was. I just had never seen one of them. The seller told me he bought the gun, a 15-2 and it had the wrong wrench in the box.. must have been NOS.

They replaced the cheap plastic wrenches with the door knob (thankfully). Maybe the previous owner ordered a new barrel assembly, I got one for a 15-2 that way a few years ago, came with a DW BA from Norwich.
