Barrel length? Original stocks or not? Overall condition is the deciding factor. $495 is not a bad price for a nice, nickel, model 15 in original condition. Last year I found a 2" square butt nickel 15 for $299. The finish was a little frosted and it had a small ding on the muzzle crown. But after a couple dates with some Flitz polish she shined up nice. I though I did very good on the price.

Again it's like other have said because to me it would have to be near mint with the correct grips to be worth $499. I bought a like new blued model 15-4 P&R last year for $420 out the door. However I have a thing for Nickel revolvers and I would and do pay more for a pristine one.

Nice find. I bought a lnib 15-4 nickel and a very nice blued 15-3 this past year. Paid a bit more for each, but worth it to me. Averaged out to $500 per gun otd.
You did good for $400 and proved that it never hurts to make an offer. Enjoy your new find and would sure like to see pics!

Come on over to the Model 15 Mania thread and post that nice nickle 15.
We haven't had a whole lot of nickle ones show up.
BTW, in Photobucket, if you copy the img link under your pictures, you can paste it in your post and it will appear directly linked.
Nice find and you got a very fair deal on that gun !

I bought a 15-4 nickel for $300 OTD at a gun show in February. It's got a couple nicks here and there, it definetly is not going to win any beauty contests, but it also isnt milky and all the nickel is there. It's also got some sort of stamping on it "CCJ" whatever that means. Also had pachmayrs.
At $400 I think you did ok.

What's the easiest way to clear up those "milky" areas on a nickel revolver?Anyone?
That is a very nice 15-3 boom905. You also, IMHO got a good deal. It looks like the 15-4 I picked up last Thursday with box and docs. Enjoy.

I'm liken' it boom! Love that nickle!
I use Renaissance Wax, and quite honestly, unless Flitz does something different than RW, I don't think you can buff out those milky spots.

That's my thoughts also.The Ren wax didn't do it.I'll try some Flitz,tho. Thanks to both of you.
