Ok I have to say after seeing that.... it is the most pristine 12 I have EVER seen. WOW... that would qualify as a safe queen!

Oh I can understand your hesitation to fire her.    Sssssooooo, send it to me and I'll fire it for you.    poke    

 

Seriously, if it were me, I would fire it, but that's me.  If you really want to keep it unfired, do so.  That just means you have to get another one you can fire.  dwas

If I snagged one that nice and unfired, I would put it away and save it, then you have a valid excuse to buy another Dan to use as a shooter. When you explain it to your wife, use the term 'investment potential' wink

Yip  Pictures were worth the wait!!!   Very nice W12!  I have it's little brother the D-11 that is a non shooter (only because I have another to shoot).  Enjoy  and snag another just so you 2!       

 

The pork chops are a wonderful way to start with Dan's then you can work your way through the years and changes...  W-12, M15, M15-2, Then  the D-11, M14, 14-2.....   So 5 more to go in this one!!!!dwas

Thanks for the compliments! Since they are only original once I think I will put her in the safe next to my like new Colt Diamondback and S & W Model 19. So now I am on the hunt for a DW 445 to add and shoot.

That's an excellent find!cool I'm curious, what did you trade for it?

I'm also curious about the box label, is the s/n 1802 or 351? I don't know that I've seen two numbers on a tag before. Other than the grip style, I have an unfired twin to yours...
