Need some help to identify a DW 357. Not sure on the model or age. It says Dan Wesson 357 CTG. SN starts with SD. Vent rib stainless.

It is either a 715-V or  715-VH.  If it has a full lower rib under barrel it is a VH.

"SD" isn't real specific, sometime between 1982 and 1987, better info available with more digits.

Also, to be exactly correct, it is a Model 715, the barrel style or length do not identify the model.

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.

I can purchase this DW. Not sure on the value? It does have the original styrofoam box. Not sure if its a fixed barrel or not.

Model 715 VH 6; not a fixed barrel; $550-650 is fair for FTF transaction.

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....
