Well hello! From MD!
I came across this site a few weeks back, when I was pondering which .357 was the one for me. I already had a 1911, but I had a special place for wheelguns, and I'd always been hooked on the .357
I spent days at local gun shops, online browsing through gunbroker, and I almost had a S&W down to a reasonable price, but then I stumbled on a nicely worn Monson 15!
It was the best implulse buy I've ever made, hands down! I saw it and just had to have it for my own. I ran a quick check on her, and put the $$ down without even knowing what a Dan Wesson was!
I researched on the gun after I purchased it, and had a week in MD to wait before it was "mine". Glad I did my research!
I just finished putting 200 rounds of .357 and 38 special through it, and i'll be damned if I didn't score higher than I shoot with my .45!
Can't wait to pick through the minds here and share my already growing love for an American classic!

to the . Great start to the wheel gun thing. Now lets see, I know there's something I need to say, oh yeah, 
. Is it blue or stainless? Whats the barrel length and type. Grips, what kind? We are always curious about that stuff.
I'll let someone else ask some more questions and welcome again!

Welcome to the DWF, we look forward to seeing your pictures
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Ok not the world's greatest photog, but here's a good idea of what I've got!
Blued, 6 and 4 inch barrels
Wooden Grip
Houge Rubber Grip
Few boxes of Remington Hollows

aboard, that's a great looking 15-2 you landed there!
Assuming that at least one of those barrels is original to the gun, the serial number you have is one of the first 15-2's made after the interchangeable front sight went into production. The latest pinned front sight I've found so far is #64599. The earliest interchangeable number I've got on my list is #71530. Obviously there's still a few thousand numbers in between, but yours is really close to the front of the "interchangeable" pack, I'm thinkin'.
Also, it's not often we see non-medallion zebra grips, that's pretty unique.
Thanks for sharing your

67fastback, welcome to the
Looks like you did really well with your purchase. As CF pointed out the zebrawood grips are unique since they don't have the DW emblem.
Hope you enjoy your 15 and the site!

Welcome 67FB.
That's a great looking model 15 you have there. From your enthusiasm, I think a case of DWAS is about to befall you. Good luck with that.

Very nice purchase... Not sure if I have any Zebras sans medallions or not. That 15 looks to be in very good condition.

Is that grip a DW item? I have one just like it that I got for a very reasonable price on Ebay some time ago, the wood on mine is very nicely grained with the same checkering. I assumed it was some kind of aftermarket grip.
