Hello folks
I'm a life long Virginian retired to a farm in the country. I love guns and golf.
I just acquired a 15-2V 6" made in Monson. It is BNIB with tools and unfired. Does anyone have any idea of the value of this revolver.
Thanks

Not very much. I will give you a buck three eighty for it. Just kidding. Actually, it is hard to say what an actually unfired 15-2 Dan is worth. On any day on GB you can find dozens of unfired Pythons but most folks used their Dans a little, scratched up the sideplate, bound up the cylinder by using too small a barrel cylinder gap and put them away for 30 years. Those guns are worth 450 to 650 depending on where they live and condition. Unfired in the box with tool etc may be worth up to 850 depending on barrel and grip. IMHO. I am not talking gunshow or pawnshop /gunshop price but on Gunbroker. I just visited the Lakeland, Florida gunshow. Only had strength and money for one of two huge rooms. There were 3 overpriced 15-2s from 750 to 950. The best of them was 750 and the worst was 950. Go figure. If you want to shoot it do not let the ejector star scratch the sideplate when ejecting cases. Hold the gun tilted to the left with your index and middle through the frame holding the cylinder fully open.

Thanks for the info "Ole Dog". It has been a long time since I have heard "A buck three eighty" used. That gave me a little smile. I am going to try to load a picture but I have not figured this sight out. I have had a lot of guns over the years/decades that were refereed to as LNIB but I have never seen a revolver in this good of shape even when purchased new. This is museum quality

Looks very nice. That would fetch on the high end probably 850 plus.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Love the long barrel single action! Is that a Uberti?
Great looking Dan, too.

Welcome and enjoy your new Dan.
Looks like pretty country you retired to, lucky man.
If you're going to drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
