I have an opportunity to trade for a Dan Wesson 715 stainless 8" .357, about a $500 trade value on my end.
The seller says he know very little about the gun other than it is in excellent condition, the pictures appear to support that.
I asked if the gun was a CZ-made pistol, the answer is it says "Made in Monson". From what I recall reading that would make it an original DW, not a CZ.
Anyway, the trade includes the DW service tool (for barrel changes?) and box.
Thoughts from the experts as to the actual value of the DW?
Instinctively, it seems at least fair since a brand new Taurus could be had from had for $500 or so, DW revolvers appear to me to have a somewhat better reputation for build quality and reliability.
