How are new folks identifying their model since none of the pics work on page 1?
Sorry- I removed the links to the now defunct domain he used. Post up a pic and description. You can probably tell by reading the descriptions on the 1st page though. Good to have you on the DWF.
Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

Wow! A little cosmetic issue? If it works, a couple hundred as a truck or tackle box gun. It would cost more than you could sell it for to refinish and would never be as new.

I have one in similar condition I keep in the boat. Disassemble that 15-2 and drop it in some ATF for a few days to help stop the active rusting. Then put it together and go shoot it!

There’s no -2 on it. If it is a model 15 wouldn’t it be 715 ??

Since it’s stainless, I believe you are correct, it’s a 715, but others know more than me.

It is not stainless. It was made several years before stainless according to the serial number. It is a 15-2 made about 1977. You need a barrel tool to take it apart. Great gun to learn on.

According to Dan Wesson CS it’s a 715 but I don’t think they know to be honest. I provided the serial number as well as a picture. It has a 2.5” barrel.

It appears to be white metal. All the bluing has been removed. It most definately is NOT a 715. It was made 6 years before DW made stainless guns. The Blue Book calls all Dan Wesson 357 715s.
