Shall we open the guessing at the final auction price?

Based on who is selling it and the fact it's what appears to be a "complete package" plus factory letter...
My guess is about $2k (+).

I would normally guess 2500... but the way these things have been selling, maybe 2150 on this? It’ll be fun to find out!

Yeah, I was adding the (+) to my guess while you were posting...

It's been interesting/surprising to watch several sell under the $1500 mark.

I thought about bidding, but that gun's going to go for far more than I'm willing to pay, so all I would be doing is frelling with people.

One of the blued Hanen Specials at the $1000ish price point would've been one to get, eh?

Yeah, but that's where I was dropping out.

Posted this in the Revolvers - Short Fuse Enabling thread in the hopes someone here grabs it.

That one is a little rough. Also interesting that it has the WO rear but no RR front with TH & TT. As mentioned, wrong grips as well, not just not serialized to the gun, but the ones on the gun look to have come from a M&P.

Agreed on all counts.

However, it's still a nice piece, built with quality forged parts and a confirmed/legit Dayton-Hanen.
If I didn't already have a nice pre-14 with factory 4 inch barrel, my post would've been that I bought this one at the asking price.

Vintage correct K Frame Diamond Magnas are readily available.
I didn't pay attention to the sight details, but obviously those could be changed as well.

Just scored a minty second run Hanen Special for $905.00.
