I haven't seen any other of these for sale or on any forums. Does anyone have any detail about these revolvers? When and for how long were they produced? How do they compare with other productions in design and quality?
The finish is rough in places and it looks like the barrel shroud is bunged up on the edges in the front. There is a significant turn ring. I bought the revolver used and it had an issue when shooting commercial magnum ammo. The cylinder would not stay shut. After the first round or two it would come unlatched. However, Dan Wesson/CZ fixed the gun under warranty paying for shipping both ways. I was amazed!
It came with yellow front sights and and a Hogue monogrip. I replaced the front sight which had a piece missing and put Pachmayr Gripper grips on.
Any information would be appreciated.

Bob Serva bought Dan Wesson and moved the company to Norwich, NY. He discovered the production machinery was worn out and it took a couple of years to get in production. He used new state of the art CNC machines. I have a 715 and a Roland 460 First Issue. The First Issue guns were what he called the first various amount of each model. I think 715s went over 1000 but many had low 3 digit numbers. The small frame guns had the frame pins polished flush with the frame, Ala Smith or Manurhin. The hammer spur is longer too. The fit and finish in my opinion are better than any others. Later CZ production does not have the frame pines polished flush.

So, the numbers are relative to the model? You mention 1000 of one model. So, this one is #337 and it's a model 15-2, so from what you said, I assume that is 337th of that model?
I've only seen a very few of these for sale and I've only come across a few people who indicate they own one.
