Should be a special order number on the box. It is a Julian calendar of the ship date.

Can you post pictures or the numbers it contains?

Congratulations, by the way. Great mid-sized 45.

That's not just a 457, it's a two tone 457. I don't think they made a lot of them.

After 98, but I can't get any closer. One thing you should be aware of. I also have one and you need to be sure the magazine is locked in place. You really have to push hard.

All 3rd Gen guns share that feature if there is a round in the chamber. If it happens to yours without a round in the chamber, that doesn't sound right.

Recently paid almost $400 for a blue one in like new shape. No regrets. Good deal. Good gun.

Congratulations, 31Kilo, on joining the 457 fraternity. You will enjoy and appreciate the quality of your pistol and how well it shoots.

According to the SCSW, the duo-tone 457 was produced in 1997 for Zanders Sports. I assume that was the only year of production, as other models listed in the SCSW are listed by a range of years if they were produced more than once.

The SCSW also says that the value of the duo-tone models is twice what the other models are, assumedly due to relative rarity. We don't see that playing out in the auction or sales world, though. Still, for the trade you made of a pistol you paid $300 for, you did very well on this. Good on you!

Congrats on a very nice .45!

Those are great guns and the two tone is quite the looker.

Very nice, I passed on one of those a few years back, still kicking myself for not picking it up.
