The slide and frame

[SmokeyMonkees]

The slide and frame of the Dan Wesson shares many characteristics consistent with the Ed Brown, especially the EE.

The slide:
1. The serrations on the rear of the slide appear congruent
2. 9mm firing pin
3. Machined angle of lower slide consistent

different:

1. The Valor has a sharper cut in the ejection port, Brown is curved more

The frame:

1. machined checkering consistent. 25 lpi
2. area inferior to slide stop but proximal to it too has a pronounced cut to it consistent with Brown
3. angles and cuts of frame near trigger consistent
4. Ed Brown beavertail grip safety cut

So the question is, does anyone else think Brown is machining the frames and slides for the Valor?

I think it's more likely that both EB and DW get their frames and slides from the same source, e.g. RemSport.

I agree. I can't see EB having the resources to be able to supply frames and slides for anyone else.
