  Dan Wesson Firearms really come into 3 different manufacturers even though it is the same gun. The original was founded by Daniel B, great grandson of D.B.Wesson (co-founder of S&W), in Monson, MA 1969-1990. Changed ownership within the family and moved to Palmer, Ma 1991-1995 when they went bankrupt. Also changed name to Wesson Firearms. Currently made by NYI (as Dan Wesson again) in Norwich, NY.
  
  So much for the history lesson. Your gun sounds like the Model 15, Pistol-pak. These came from the factory with everything you have mentioned. Depending on which bbl shroud current value is 450-575 in exc condition.
  
  The current (NYI) guns are fuly compatible with your 1st generation, so spare parts should not be a problem IF you ever needed them. One thing that I have found out is when you change bbls make sure you check the bbl gap BEFORE and AFTER installation of the bbl nut.
  
  Hope this helps some.
