  Amendment No. 1 (Final Amendment) to Schedule 13D

          This Statement amends the Schedule 13D, dated April 7,
1995 (the "Scheduled 13D"), filed by Dickstein & Co., L.P.,
Dickstein International Limited, Dickstein Focus Fund L.P.,
Dickstein Partners, L.P. Dickstein Partners Inc. and Mark
Dickstein with respect to the Common Stock, $.01 par value (the
"Common Stock"), of Weirton Steel Corporation (the "Company"). 
Notwithstanding this Amendment No. 1, the Schedule 13D speaks as
of its date.  Capitalized terms used without definition have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

I.  Item 3 of the Schedule 13D, Source and Amount of Funds and
    Other Consideration is hereby amended by adding the following
    paragraph:

          "Since April 7, 1995 (the date the Reporting Persons
filed the Schedule 13D) and without giving effect to sales of
shares of Common Stock, the Reporting Persons in the aggregate
acquired an additional 137,200 shares of Common Stock in the open
market.  Dickstein & Co. acquired 98,400 of such shares at a
total cost of $747,609; Dickstein Focus acquired 12,700 of such
shares at a total cost of $96,442; and Dickstein International
acquired 21,400 of such shares at a total cost of $169,834.  Such
amounts were funded out of each entity's working capital, which
may include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary
course of business."

II.  Items 5(a), 5(c) and 5(e) of the Schedule 13D, Source and
     Amount of Funds and Other Consideration, are hereby amended
     by adding the following:

          "(a)  The Reporting Persons beneficially own an
aggregate of 1,775,300 shares of Common Stock, representing
approximately 4.2% of the shares of Common Stock.  Dickstein &
Co., L.P. owns 1,220,000 of such shares, representing
approximately 2.9% of the shares outstanding, Dickstein Focus
owns 132,500 of such shares, representing approximately 0.3% of
such shares, and Dickstein International owns 422,800 of such
shares, representing approximately 1.0% of the shares
outstanding.  The above-mentioned percentages are based upon an
aggregate of 42,018,485 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of
April 30, 1995, as reported in the Company's Quarterly Report for
the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

          Mark Kaufman, a vice president of Dickstein Inc., is
the beneficial owner of 5,000 shares of Common Stock,
constituting less than 1% of the shares of Common Stock
outstanding.  Mr. Kaufman has sole power to vote and dispose of
such shares.

          Arthur Wrubel, a vice president of Dickstein Inc., is
the beneficial owner of 1,000 shares of Common Stock,
constituting less than 1% of the shares of Common Stock
outstanding.  Mr. Wrubel has sole power to vote and dispose of
such shares.

          (c)  Except as set forth on Schedule II annexed hereto,
none of the persons identified in Item 2 has effected any
transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

          (e)  The Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial
owner of more than 5% of the Common Stock on July 14, 1995. 
Accordingly, the Reporting Persons no longer have a reporting
obligation under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the
Reporting Persons intend not to further amend their report on
Schedule 13D to reflect changes n the facts set forth herein
which may occur after the date hereof."
