That is a Dan Wesson Model 44 with a 10V (10"Vent rib) barrel assembly, it has a Patridge front sight. My guess from the serial number is that it was manufactured in 1984.

You can learn more about Dan Wesson here

Please tell us more about how you acquired this gun in Norway.

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.

$600 USD would be a little high here for the average Model 44, the 10" barrel on your takes it up a bit from average.

I thank 600.00 will be a very good buy on your gun. If it was mine I would ask 700.00 and not lower the price.I have 14 D W. So I do not need any more GOOD LUCKproud-to-be-an-american
