USAF Model 15-2 trio
Just posting a quick shot of my three USAF model 15-2's in a family portrait. One of these is going away to a new owner in a couple of weeks, so I wanted to get a picture while the gang was still together. All three are correct original USAF marked, all with historical letters. Conditions range from excellent to good finish wise, all 3 are mechanically tight. The middle ones grips were varnished at some point, it was not uncommon for SP units to do this to "dress up" their revolvers. While I do not have written provenance, the bottom one was a bring back from Vietnam according to the former USAF member I bought it from. The finish certainly looks like a SE Asia exposed blued S&W! You do not see many group shots of these USAF revolvers, so I thought you guys would like to see them.

Slufstuff - great trio and agree wish the bottom one could talk.
Luvsmiths - what an awesome time capsule package and a perfect condition gun. It’s like it’s 1963 again. Sure hope it finds a deserving new home !

It is great to see those USAF 15 survivors. Robbins AFB was the repository for them as noted in the factory letter. The vietnam bring back is special. I wish I had absconded my issue M-10. Looking back, it would have been pretty east. "It fell out of the helicopter." then sign a statement of charges.
