Just wanted to post in for the first time and say HI.
I found this forum about two months ago, after my father-in-law acquired a DW 15-2 (S/n 1961xx) and needed some info. I'd always wanted a DW, but never got around to it.
This forum really got me going, and about two weeks ago, I got a decent Monson-produced 15-2 (S/n 923xx) that I'm guessing was made around 1977. Does this seem close?
It is nicely blued, 6"V barrel, with smooth walnut target grips. I've also got a 4"V barrel assembly on its way. I'll post pix next week when I get my camera back.
Today, my FIL and I took the DW's out and shot them side-by-side with some .38 Spl wadcutter reloads and leftover Cowboy Acton loads I've had for 10 years. Everything I've heard about DW accuracy seems to be true.
I just want to express my thanks to all the folks who share their knowledge as it sure helped me to find the right gun at the right price, before I ever even registered with this board.

Jeff- Welcome to the Forum, and congratulations on getting your DW. 1977 seems pretty solid, we have much more info about the 15-2's than anything else. Nice job on getting a (temporary) pass on the pictures, as well, but you're gonna have to post yours and your Father in Law's

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.

Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing your story! 1977 is a pretty good estimate as to when your gun was produced.
Looking forward to seeing your pictures!
