Help identifying a 15-2
Hello everyone! Just picked up a Mod 15-2. Has a 4" pinned barrel, appears to have been parkerized at some point in it's life. Has number K721155 on both the yoke and butt. Here's pics. Can anyone tell me a year? Thanks

The serial# dates to about 1967.

"Help identifying a 15-2"
I suspect it is a 15-2. These generally fell between the 15-1 and the 15-3.
Now, about that question regarding Grant's Tomb...

If you remove the wood stocks and look inside the right one you should see a number stamped there, if that number matches your serial the stocks came with the gun,
Im guessing they will.

I would think that a 1967 would most likely have diamond types?

They do not have the same number. I suspect they were replacement grips

Parkerized or bead blasted then reblued? Guns parkerized in fresh solution tend to come out grey. As the solution is reused the color of the finish it produces gradually changes to kaki green. Bluing on a bead blasted surface looks more like flat blue. Some times it is hard to tell which you've got.
Either way it looks like a great gun for home cast lead bullets.

A good point. On most areas of this piece it looks like the original bluing but there are places where the finish is not as smooth, hence why I thought it had been parkerized. Sand beaded and reblued does make sense.
