Hi, i'm french, sorry for my simple english.
I know i'm on a forum about real guns... so my question seems to be ridiculous but i hope you will answer me.
I would like to buy this airgun :
I would like to know which is the original model which inspired it ?
It looks like the Dan Wesson .357 Magnum SN:142452 ?
Thank you for your help

Frankly, there is nothing about this that is "Dan Wesson" except the licensing of the name.
The location of the cylinder release and the barrel profile are completely wrong, and with a few exceptions, a Dan Wesson revolver will have interchangeable barrels, front sights and grips.
Please do not read this as being harsh or judgmental, these items have been in the marketplace for several years, and it seems that CZ has licensed the DW name to take advantage of a name brand.
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.

Steve is right, the airgun you listed is simply not a Dan Wesson or anything similar, the only "true" Dan airsoft/airgun was released last year as the 715 ( http://www.hyperprotec.com/armes-a-plombs-revolvers-a-plombs/6451-revolver-dan-wesson-715-63939-grey-a-plombs-45mm.html )
All the other Dan pellet shooters are just using the name.
That specific airgun you posted looks like a heavily modified S&W or something.
Hope any of this helps.

Hi Steve and Cipher,
Thanks for these answers, now it is clear to me.
You are lucky to have real beautiful guns, in France, it is more complicated !
Have a nice day !

FYI, I got one of these for my daughter a few years ago. Its fun to play around with in the back yard, accuracy is good too. They now make an air soft version that more closely resembles the genuine article.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.
