It's probably not the deal of the century, but I figure I can't get hurt at that price. The seller says that it doesn't look like it's been fired. Who knows, but it should mean that it's in nice shape. The seller has real good feedback.
There are real deals out there these days on .38's everyone wants a magnum, nice 14 and 15s are available at very reasonable prices. What could you get on the new market for $350 that is 1/2 the quality of that 15.
Before I traveled the soulless steel magnum route, I looked at many a model 14. The prices have been steadily increasing. Your new 15 might make a nice safe queen.
Funny you bring up an S&W you don't "need"... When I brought my new to me 19-3 home the other day with my brother, he spotted a real descent looking 15-2 under the glass with a price tag of $325... Hmmmm, I don't have a 38spl specific Smith yet... Gotta see about renewing my kitchen pass!
Just closed the deal on an online M29 and I didn't really need it, but strangely enough my other guns didn't seem as important while "the bug" was bugging me to get this 44. Congrats on the 15, it looks clean as a whistle.
