dan wesson 357 - value ?
916254
It all depends...Dan wesson made several different models and configurations of .357...on the side of the barrel it should say something like "Dan Wesson Model 15-2 Target" or "Dan Wesson 12-2" something like that...gimme all those numbers and words, and what type of grips it has, if it has any extra barrels, and a rough description of it's condition, and I'll get back to you with a bluebook price and a gunbroker.com price...

Bound's hubby here:\n\nIn the '70s and '80s it was common to have custom rebarreling of Smith & Wesson revolvers for non-factory offerings. If it is indeed chambered for .44 Special and a five shot cylinder it should be safe to shoot... after all you're looking at about a 20 year old revolver that I doubt someone would have built and not try to shoot it. If you keep your .44 Special loads at SAAMI specifications you should have no problem using this revolver. \n\nIf you can not contact the indentified manufacturer directly, you can do one of two things:\na) you can contact the Washington State Police at their headquaters to find out who recieved the manufacturer's license under the name "SPOKHANDGUNS, INC",\nb) you can contact the NRA's "Dope Bag" with your question about the handgun and the will get back to you.\n\nGood luck.

You have not really given enough info to answer.  What is its condition.   One way for you to find out is to go to library and look in the Blue Book Of Gun Values.

i have a model 70, clip fed semi auto.  it was bought new in the late 70's.  so i'm guessing your gun was made in the 50's or 60's.  neither one is worth much.

There are a couple of other options: www.auctionarms.com and www.gunbroker.com.  If you already know how much it's worth or how much you want for it, set it up with a reserve price of that amount.  Since it's not a firearm, you should have no problems, but make sure that you list somewhere in the auction terms that the buyer has the responsibility for ensuring the item is legal in their area.

Yes.\n\nEmail not going through.\n\n    gizz_97@yahoo.com\n\nTechnical details of permanent failure:\nPERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 12): 554 delivery error: dd This user doesn't have a yahoo.com account (gizz_97@yahoo.com) [0] - mta254.mail.re2.yahoo.com\n\nhttp://www.faqfarm.com/Q/Henry_Arms_Co_shotgun\n Answer\n\nHenry Arms Co. was a name used on shotguns distributed by H&D Folsom c. 1900. It may have been manufactured by Crescent Firearms, Meriden, CT, or it may have been imported from a Belgian maker. No relation to the famous Henry Repeating Rifles which were the forerunners of the Winchester lever actions. Value is something less than $200 unless it is in like-new condition.\n\nAnswer\n\nLyle - A single shot would bring less than $79. That's what a new utility single shot sells for. Even though yours may be old, there is no collector interest.\n\nhttp://www.faqfarm.com/Q/How_old_is_a_Henry_Arms_double_barrel_hammer_shotgun_with_the_words_twist_finish_Belgium_on_the_barrel_and_what_is_it_worth\nHow old is a Henry Arms double barrel hammer shotgun with the words twist finish Belgium on the barrel and what is it worth?\nBelgian Double Barrel Shotgun\nThis gun was manufactured by Anciens Etablissments Pieper, Leige, Belgium, c. 1905-1914. It should not be fired unless it is checked and approved by a competent gunsmith, so it's primary value will be as a mantle decoration - $150-$250.\n\n\n\nhttp://www.gabelguns.com/QuestionsAndAnswers/ViewQuestion.asp?QuestionNumber=1011\n\nQuestion:\n\nRon; This is in reference to Q#1006. I appreciate your reference to Q#388, but I'm afraid it left me more confused. You made reference to the Folsom Arms Co. I looked that up in a book entitled "The Shotgun Book" by Jack O'Conner. It states that shotguns with the name W. Richards on them were cheap replicas mass produced by the tens of thousands by the Crescent Firearms Co. of Norwich, Connecticut, and are, in fact, not guns made by Westley Richards. Yet your answer to Q#388 indicated that an oval with the initials E over LG indicated the shotgun was manufactured in Belgium. My brother's shotgun has that mark. Do you know if the information in the O'Conner book is accurate? Is it possible that the mass-produced versions were also stamped with the initials E over LG? Or were there actually Westley Richards guns that simply said W. Richards, and did not print out his entire name? Either way, should we, can we, assume this shotgun is from the late 1800's or early 1900's? Or is that not possible to deduce from the information given? Thanks for your time, Esther Bozeman\n\nAnswer:\n\nEsther: Easy to see why you might be a bit confused. The Crescent Fire Arms Company of Norwich Conn. were makers of single and double barrel shotguns. The original Crescent guns, made in Conn., were sold until about 1895 after which the Crescent made guns were retailed under the brand name American Gun Company. The H&D Folsom Arms Company secured control of the Crescent Company about 1893 and retained control of the Crescent Company until 1932. W. Richards was a house brand name used on Belgium made shotguns that were distributed by the H&D Folsom Arms Company. The Folsom began importing these shotguns in 1890, just prior to gaining control of the Crescent Fire Arms Company. The ELG proof mark is the standard proof mark for guns made in Belgium. So your brothers gun was made in Belgium, sold through H&D Folsom Arms Co. in New Yory around the turn of the century, when the Folsom Company was in control of the Crescent company. Still confused??\n\n\n\nhttp://www.faqfarm.com/Q/What_is_information_on_the_Folsom_Arms_Co\n\nH&D Folsom was a large sporting goods retailer and distributor in New York City. They didn't manufacture any firearms, but from 1893 to 1930 they owned Crescent Firearms in Norwich, Ct. They also bought guns from other arms makers, especially Belgian manufacturers. Haven't ran across a W Richardson,

"The Blue Book of Gun Values".  Your library should have a copy.  If not, your local gun shop or pawn shop should have a copy that they may let you look at.  In order to figure out what the value of your gun actually is, you need a good assessment of its condition.  The value will depend to a great deal on its condition.

Check www.gunbroker.com to see what they sell for. It sounds good to me. I had one a few years back, ate buckshot and birdshot with no problems. I think I still have a pistol grip and heat sheild that I never put on it. It was stolen with my vehicle, sad to say and never replaced it.

It's a 1950s era plinker.\nIt's not a particularly desirable rifle to collectors. Its value is strictly as a utilitarian shooter.  Those old Remingtons were often quite accurate and there are still a few old squirrel hunters around who swear by them.  Retail value is strictly what a buyer will pay - in excellent condition maybe a hundred bucks or so.  If I was selling I wouldn't consider anything less than $75 and I'd  JUMP at $150 if anyone was offering that much.\nHope this helps...

Some rust on the barrel is normal and a little oil will make it less noticeable unless it is pitted.\nThe SKS will still function in terrible condition. \nAnd none are "PRETTY" when new.\nA basic SKS in USA sells for $89 to $149.\nOne that takes a clip is worth more than the ones with a built in magazine.\nThe sporter stock would  probably cost $49 -$100\nClips are worth $5-$20 each\nAmmo is cheep.  I buy Wolf at Gander Mountain for less than $2 for a box of 20. Gun shows will have it even cheaper.

Try going to www.gunbroker.com and take a look at what they are each selling for. That would be the best indication. Books aren't very accurate. \n\nPersonally since its mainly sentimental, I'd just pick the one you like the most, or fire them both and find the one that has the best shot.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nPersonally, I feel the Smith & Wesson line of handguns (revolvers) are the best value for the price. Customer service and support mean a lot to me. I would suggest a S&W K-frame or J-frame (if you want a small concealable revolver). However, your $500 limit is less than the average MSRP for a model 10 4" M&P .38 Special. The best thing about S&W revolvers is that they hold a crisp trigger like no other revolver I have encountered. Never have any of my S&W revolvers ever required a trigger job to maintain target accuracy!\n\nThe good thing is, you can get very good USED S&W K-frames [M14 - K-38 Masterpiece (.38 Spec.); M17 - K-22 Masterpiece (.22LR); M48 - K-22MRF (.22 Magnum); M19 - Combat Magnum (.357 Magnum); M10 - Military & Police (.38 Special)] for under $500. \n\nAll of these blued, "carbon steel" revolvers are exceptional values. The Model 19 Combat Magnum would require the most scrutiny for wear.

The last poster is correct.  The rest of these guys have no idea what they are talking about except the Guns America suggestion.  There are several other things you will need to know to get a correct value including what kind of stock it has, solid rib vent rib or no rib, and barrel length.  The Blue Book of Gun values by Stephen Fjestad is the Bible gun dealers use when pricing guns.  Any gun store will have one they will likely let you use or you can pick one up at a book store.

Any other markings on it?\nI just looked in, "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Handguns, Pistols & Revolvers of the World 1870 to the Present" and found no such critter.\nGermany made tons and tons of .25 caliber pistols prior to its defeat and split in 1945. Just because it says it's made in Germany doesn't mean it's "worth a lot."\nSmall pocket pistols made in Germany, prior to 1945, are still quite prevalent. Most of the time they don't fetch much money, say $100 or less.\nQuality on many of these pocket pistols was not good. Exceptions are pistols made by Walther, Sauer, Mauser and DWM. These tend to be very well made.\nCan you describe the pistol better?\nIs it a semi-auto pistol or a revolver (the kind that has a cylinder)?\nOddly enough, Europeans also made revolvers in .25 Auto caliber, so to say it's .25 caliber doesn't necessarily restrict it to a semi-auto handgun.\nHow do you know it's .25 caliber, by the way? If it's truly made in Germany and of .25 caliber it should actually be marked 6.35mm instead of .25 ACP.\nThe cartridges are the same but the Europeans have long used the Metric system when designating cartridges.\nProvide all the markings on that handgun and perhaps I can find it. I could find nothing about Cheyenne, Wyoming or Indian Works.\nIt's not unusual to have European handguns named after the American West. The Europeans have long been thrilled with the West, so their gun makers often gave their guns Old West names to appeal to European buyers.\nThe Europeans are still nuts about the Old West. They even have Cowboy Action Shooting clubs in Germany, France and Belgium today.

Best thing to do here is to look it up in the blue book of gun values. You can get it at your local book shop or through the NRA

The Remington Model 12A had a 22 in. round or octagon barrel. 849,000 were manufactured between 1909 and 1936.\n\n100% condition $600\n98% $475\n95% $350\n90% $325\n80% $300\n70% $275\n60% $250\n\nB, C, or CS models are worth a bit more.\nYou mention engraving, this could add to the value depending on if original.
