Beautiful!
I carried the Model 15 while in the Air Force Reserves 1976 and 1977. And on occasion while on active duty from 1977 until I retired in 1997.
Loved it so much, I went out and bought one for myself. Just a standard Model 15-4, but have had it since Dec 1980 or Jan 1981. Had the original purchase from Curly's Pawn Shop, Rapid City, SD. According to what I found in the serial number lists, it was made in 1976. The year I got married, and still am.
I was the second owner as he shot one box of shells and thought it was to light. Traded t in for a 357. I picked it up a week later.
I've always wanted it engraved with something related to the Air Force, but I shoot it to much.
Now that it has a recent cylinder, it's not worth spending the money to fancy it up.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
