I have recently acquired this DW Revolver and no absolutely nothing about them. I was hoping from these pictures someone could tell me (1) what model it is, (2) and the approximate value? Thanks all.

Welcome to DWF. You have a Model 15-2 with a 6 VH (Vent Heavy) barrel, likely made in 1979-1980. Yours shows what we call a "Barney" effect, where the frame has started to show a purple tint.

Value varies a lot by geographic area. Yours appears to be in pretty fair condition, with the possible exception of a fairly beat up grip. If it's functionally solid, times and locks up well, it would sell for $250-300 in my neck of the woods, but DW's sell for less here.

Please visit our New Members area and tell us more about you and how this one came to be yours.

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 DWF Sign, Steve has helped you with the specifics on your gun.  In my neck of the woods your gun, functionaly sound may bring on average $25.00 more than in Steve's woods.  Check out some GB auctions on similar looking revolvers and you'll get a good idea on the street value.  Glad to have you.

And I live in an even more pricey DW area, so tack another $25 on top of the last $25 🙂  Price really varies by area, and also by buyers.

My area is about the same as Shoot's area, if that helps at all.

Welcome aboard!

As long as we're sticking our necks out into the woods, mine is also about the same as SHOOT's. Smile

Welcome to theDWF Sign which is our collective neck of the woods.
