In a gunshop about an hour away.

Model 15"

4" Barrel

Finish is well worn, I haven't seen it in person.

Should I be considering this?

That is probably about going rate depending on area. However condition will play a big factor. Only you can set the value. Good luck.

I personally would pass on it at $350 but would need to see pictures to say for sure.  This past weekend I went to a local gun show and a guy had a "new" 15-2 V8 for $675.  The dealer stated "new" but from 4 feet away I could see a pretty shiny drag line, I ask if he had box and tool and of course he didn't.  Needless to say I didn't even pick it up I just proceeded to the next table.

Agree with Jody.. I bought a 715 recently with a 6" and 2" VH.. used very little.. about a 100 rounds through it.. so not new but like new.. for $550.00 came with the tools, a belt buckle and 50 rounds of ammo.. I'd pass or make a low ball offer.. in the  $200 buck range I'd consider a parts gun or having it re-blued and rebuild it yourself. good luck..

I'm assuming you mean 15-2, a 15 (no dash) for $350 might have some value to a collector.

A 15-2 that needs a refinish for you to be happy with might end up being a $500 gun, a little high IMHO. On the other hand, I'm the guy who bought a used 15-2, and then turned around and spent most of the purchase price all over again to have id done in bright nickel.

And it's priceless to me cool

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.
