I know a letter might clear up these questions,
but I'm retired and that expense is something of a bump for a shooter piece
that was fair priced $400 after some haggling.
I have a 15-2 and the S# K7659XX sets it in 1967. it in excellent mechanical condition.
and has some thinning blue holster wear, no rust pits, and a beauty of a bore.
I'm told it was service revolver, carried a lot, shot very little, which I agree it was well cared for. Grips serial # to the gun.
The story is it was a Border Service gun, from Niagara, NY (bought the gun, not the story applies). The question is, did U.S. (or Canadian?) Buy or issue Mod. 15's or were they every officer/agent purchased?
I have read the US Border Service used Magnums? was it exclusively magnums? (pre-autos)
Perhaps the Canadians?
There are no other marks indication of any agency, should/would there be?
I realize a letter might be the only definitive answer.
