I have checked everywhere on this thing (including under the grips). Any ideas as to why my weapon is serial number free??? I need a good story to tell Las Vegas Metro Police when I take it in to register it when they ask for the serial number.

Please post a pic so we can see what model you acually have. Serial number may be inside crane, under grips, etc.

Well I looked at some S/N info and it put's mine fairly low on the list S/N is 1153X so I am going to guess it is a fairly early one. She also came with a factory 2" and 4" barrel as well…any idea what something like this would be worth?

Dave and CF are the resident experts on older pork models, or at
least they should be as many as they have. I'll take a guess on a
3 barrel 15 at $500-$600. If I'm wrong someone will set you straight.

Yep, with the exception of the very early model 12's (presumably 11's too, but I have yet to see one), they stamped them under the crane on the 11, 12, 14 & 15's.
Toward the end of the 15 model, shortly before the switch to 15-1, they moved the s/n to the outside of the frame. This is the lowest number I've seen thus far on the outside of a 15 frame. So far, I don't know if they switched right at #30000, or if it was slightly before.
Patrick, does your gun also include a Pistol Pac case? The extra barrels were available separately, but whoever bought the gun originally could have bought a Pac, which would have included everything all in one.
With the case, your gun's value would probably be in the $5-600 range, without the case, it could be about $100 less.
Judging from your s/n, I'd say your gun was built about midway through the model 15 run, probably around 1972 +/- a few months.
Congrats on obtaining your 15, it looks like a nice one!
