hello everyone,

 

I'm looking at buying a DW .357 with 4 and 6 inch barrel, has old style tool set but I'm not sure of the model?? the serial number starts with a 15, does this indicate this is a older model 15? its made in Monson if that helps?

 

Serial is 1521xx, its blue adjustable rear site and not the porkchop frame, I'm now incontact with the seller and really would like to know what I'm buying and what its worth?

 

Thanks and hope I will be a DW owner soon!

That is a Model 15-2, the "15" leading the serial number is a coincidence. S/N 1521xx was probably made in 1978, and you should expect it to be very well made, with (at least originally) a beautiful, highly polished blue finish and a medium to dark wood target style grip, possibly with medallions inset in the grip.

This would be a great deal at $400, and a pretty good deal up to about $600.

I hope you'll be a DW owner soon, too!

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.

Sounds nice.  You have to post pics when you get it.

BTW, Welcome to the DWF Sign.
