As the Maintenance Support / Supply Officer in SEA, Udorn 68-69, I saw my share of Model 15's. Previously I had purchase a Model 18 ($88.00 in 67) for my own practice since we had very little range time stateside at Shaw. (When you were making $303.90, that $88.00 was stiff.) I wanted my own Model 15 but they were a little hard to find in the late 60's. At last I found a new one in Lubbock, TX in late 1970 just before leaving active duty. Price $108.00 at Furr's. Fortunately, both are still with me. But I am still looking for the right USAF marked one.
My brother was an AP/SP in the early to mid 70's. He is very sure that at some time he carried a Model 14 in 4 inch. If any one else remembers carrying a Model 14, please let us know.
Thanks and enjoy that really nice 15.
