Very nice looking 15-2... good Zebrawood grips. Is it a Monson made gun... I suspect not. Which would make it later manufacture. AS is I suspect it made after 1986 at least.
Soap Box, Ballot Box, Ammo Box
in that order.
4 Monson Model 15's
1 Palmer FB 15
1 Rossi 357 Model 92 (lever)
1 CZ 75B

I believe it is a Monson made gun, its stamped Monson Mass.USA. It has a recessed cylinder the whole inside off the cylinder . Whats the diference between 15 and 15-2?

I see the adjustment screw is in the trigger guard instead of in the trigger so since you say it is a monson gun it should be a late production monson since that switch was made near the end of the monson plants run I believe.

The adjustment screw moved to the frame in about the mid-80's, I would guess. That happened quite a while before the serial number style changed to "caliber, letter, number..." as this one has. I think the s/n style on this gun was used in the last 2 ~ 3 years before they closed Monson...so that should put the gun's manufacture date approximately in the 1990 ~ 1992 area.
Here's an ongoing list of approximate manufacture dates that Steve & Jody have compiled for our DW Registry...
