What's the value?

[r3captain]

I'm looking at a 1978 vintage D/W pistol pac that looks unfired and has the bright blue finish and I'd like to hear from other D/W owners about it's actual value.

I'm looking at a 1978 vintage D/W pistol pac that looks unfired and has the bright blue finish. It has everything except the hard case they usually come with, 2,4,6 and 8" barrels, multi tool and extra sights and grips. Asking $1000 but I can't quite justify it. I'd like to hear from other D/W owners about it's actual value as the Blue Book value appears to almost be a joke. I realize there is often a CA premium involved.

1k sounds very reasonable! I'd jump on if I could!

It sounds reasonable to me as well. I tried out (dry fired) a bunch of DW 1911s at SHOT Show this year. Extremely impressed with them. Amazing trigger right out of the box and superb fit and finish.

great deal if all the parts are there.

I have a 4" 15-2 from that time frame & it is an outstanding revolver. I might use the lack of the original case as a haggling point but $1K would be very tempting to me. The finish on those older DW brings teh

I see them for $1,000 out here, so that seems reasonable in California.

Forget the case does it have a belt buckle, 'cause that would seal the deal for me.

[CaffeinFeign]

Wow, I think that is a great price, and for me, who cares about the case if the gun was never fired. that is a find! I own two DW autos and love them. I have a few 1911's and I shoot my DW's the most. I say grab it!

[tileguy]

what caliber? i have a DW 44mag heavy lug 10 inch and 4 inch barrel bought new in the late 80s or early 90s great firearm. 1000.00 sounds like a very good price

[r3captain]

It's the .357 15-2 with the vent rib, not the heavy vent rib. No buckle.

...a patch at least?

[r3captain]

Yes there is a patch.

I sold one of mine about 5 years back, it included the case and still had brown wrapping paper, all the extras and vent heavy 2.5", 4", 6" and 8" barrels with their wrapping paper for $1,500.00. I'm told it sold in about 15 minutes of being put out.

If your up north there is a one for sale in the market place complete with case and belt buckle. I don't think it's unfired but it looks like in good shape.
