As some of you know I have created a new forum specifically for Dan Wesson information and have found some really good information here. As stated earlier in this post if folks who know when they originally purchased a DW could post part the serial number and the year it would help everyone when researching these revolvers.
This way we'll have the list available here and at the Dan Wesson Forum
www.danwessonforum.com.
Here is what I have seen posted so far on various sites:
Model 11 - S/N 41xx purchased in 1971 or 1972
Model 15-2 - S/N 7261x purchased in 1977
Model 44 - S/N 0080xx purchased in 1979
