I have seen several postings on the 2 1/2" Wesson 44 mag "fixed barrel" revolvers. There were two batches of these made. The first was with standard serial numbers and either 25 or 50 were produced. The second batch had a gold plated trigger and a special serial number with the letter prefix "SDI". 50 were made.

 

I have serial number "1".

 

They are indeed rare. They were made for one distributor and as far as I know they were not supplied to anyone else. One was presented to the actor Steven Segal.

Welcome to the DWF- that's some interesting information on the Palmer FBs- how did you come about finding that out?

Regards, Ron

I was the owner of the distributing company. I requested the special configuration. 

 

I will post a photo as soon as I have time.

I'd like to see some photos, too. 🙂  And I'd like to know the significance of the "SDI" in the s/n.

Uploaded photo. Date stamp is obviously wrong. The "SDI" was the name of my company. I saw one or two of these with "regular" trigger and serial numbers on this forum. They are certainly rare.

Perhaps one or a few will be available soon? Did you ever have an Gold Series 15-2s?  Did you sell any? I can't find much info on them.
