Welcome to the forum!
My book shows a start in Jan for serial number AHC 1687, so I'd say 1986 for DOM. That is a very good price these days. They are very nice old guns.
I just picked this 15-3 up the other day for $239.-

Yes I meant 1986. I was typing to fast I guess. I saw it right away though and fixed it so as not to confuse any new people

Great Gun and a Great Price! Congratulations. The Model-15 is the top of the line in .38SPL in my opinion. The Combat Masterpiece indeed.

Sounds as if you got a great gun at a good price. Model 15's are top notch S&W revolvers...smooth and accurate.

The nickel one is a 15-4, the blued one a 15-3
