On Gunbroker there is a fixed sight Dan Wesson Model 14-2 (I think!) with, what appears to be, a four-inch "fixed" barrel. It is in blue steel and is a Palmer, Mass. Factory Model. The barrel, besides being fixed, has a design profile I haven't seen before and is completely different from my Monson DW Model 14-2.

I have seen pictures of the fixed barrel Model 14-2, which looks just like my removeable barrel 14-2 in profile. This advertised Palmer Dan Wesson has different lettering characteristics also to go along with that barrel difference.

It would help enhance my Dan Wesson Firearms knowledge if someone would take a look-see at that gunbroker ad with that previously mentioned DW Palmer Model and explain. I have never seen a fixed sight DW like that one before.

Many thanks in advance............................David

I cannot remember seeing any other 14-2 fixed barrels, but the underlug style is the same as 15-2 or 715 fixed barrels I have seen. Looks like a very nice revolver, and would make a splendid carry weapon, David poke

That is pretty unusual, I've not seen a Fixed Barrel, Fixed Sight DW before.

Starting at $500? I dunno!

 

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.

This is the first 14 FB I've seen, I believe. I agree that the $500 asking price is a bit high, but due to the relative rarity, it would be worth it to me personally.dwas

I have seen two other fixed sight FB's so far, this 714...
