I am now the owner of a Model 15, Monson made, serial # 306447. I have just begun my quest on these beautiful pieces and cannot wait to get started. I do need a barrel wrench, gap tool(?) and the other bits and pieces any beginning DW might need. I hope this is a great shooter.

Welcome to the world of Dan Wessons. For a gap tool, you can use a feeler gauge from any auto supply, for the 15 the gap is .006. Check on Ebay for the tool, the older style for the 38/357 come up regularly and aren't too expensive, Dan Wesson/CZ also sells the door knob style barrel tool, and there are usually some of the new T type multi-caliber style on Ebay, but they run about the same as the DW/CZ style.

Thank you! Any idea on the age of this shooter?

From the small amount of serial number info we've been able to gather, your number would put the date around 1985, give 'er take a year.
Congrats on the purchase.
You can also get the standard barrel tool from DW / CZ for $43. See our parts list posted under the parts and service forum (it's dated 2008, but is the one they are still using in Norwich). it will come with a .006 feeler.

Sounds like you made a good find, congrats! Is this a blued gun & do you have a single barrel, or multiples?

I am satisfied that the price was fair. I do want to buy several other handguns before the political climate really changes. Pistol should be at my FFL by friday or so...looking forward to "airing" it out.!
