Default I would like year for models 15 and 19-2

I inherited a model 15 from my Dad. It is a blued revolver with 4" barrel in .38 special. It also has target hammer, trigger and adjustable sight. Serial number is K4987xx. I'd love to know when he purchased this gun.

I also more recently purchased a used model 19-2 .357 in blue with 4" barrel, target hammer, standard trigger with adjustable sight. Serial number is K7149xx. This gun is like new so I assume it's a fairly recent gun but I've had it for maybe 10 years.
Year of manufacture would be greatly appreciated on it as well.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you sure the Model 15 isnt actually a 15-2 ?
If so likely 1963

The 19-2 is likely from 1967

Default Model 15 or 15-2

Thanks for the super fast reply Engine49guy! I really appreciate your time.

I may have screwed up and neglected to put the -2 on the model 15. I don't think so but I'll check tomorrow just to be sure.

Thanks again for your help.

Tom

K4987xx = 1962

K7149xx = 1966

These are manufacture dates (when the serial number was issued). Both guns could have shipped the following year, as Engine49guy suggested.

The Combat Masterpiece is probably a Model 15-2. The Combat Magnum would be a 19-2, as stated.

As an aside, both the Model 15 Combat Masterpiece and the Model 19 Combat Magnum came standard with target sights. Standard configuration for the Model 19 was Target stocks; the Model 15 shipped with either Magna or Target stocks.

Default 15-2

You were right. The model number was 15-2. I guess I just didn't
look close enough and over the years the model 15 just stuck in my head.
Thanks again
