I do have one, as a matter of fact.

These 5 guns were the first attempt to use stainless steel. They were made
in 1960, and were serial-numbered in the K-frame series. They are model-stamped
as model 15. They look just like a carbon-steel model 15, but are stainless steel.

As near as I can tell, the idea was to evaluate their resistance to corrosion.
The one I have was delivered, by whomever was president, to some police commissioner
in the islands off Florida. He wrote a glowing report about it, and that success
was what brought S&W into the stainless age.

Seems like Robby took a picture of it a while ago. If I can find it, I will
add it to this post. I'm away from the guns right now - I can get more details
out of the letter when I get back later this week.
