I wish I knew the date of manufacture… I have not seen another fixed barrel firearm to compare with or even seen, before today, any mention of the fixed barrel. Most people with whom I’ve spoken say that there was no such thing!

paperwork in box dated that guns made after april 1976 would have different types of grips, also barrel wrapper was from november 1976

Jerry Nanson Monson, MA Small Frame 15-2 (.357 Mag) Target 1976 7180X

I have the original box with all original paperwork, including the retail price list which is dated February 2, 1976. There is also an official letter on Dan Wesson letterhead in the paperwork which is dated 4/1/76 that has 4 informational paragraphs, titled: “IMPORTANT CHANGES IN OUR LINE NOT SHOWN IN OUR LITERATURE” — “INTERCHANGEABLE COLORED FRONT SIGHTS” — “PISTOL PAC CHANGES” — “GRIP STYLE CHANGES”

I suspect this it’s possible this gun was made in ’77 and they were still including the same information but I doubt if they would have the same price list.

BTW, my forum name is jertex & I’m a fairly new member. Let me know if you would like scanned copies of any of the paperwork.
