Value? S&W Model 15-2, 2", Nickel

[tlandon]

Excellent condition. I want it. What should I pay? Thanks.

That would likely have a $500.00+ price tag on it around here.

Easily $500 plus but expect a tag of around $650.

OK, some posters will come along and opt that it's a $400 gun
or less because that's what they "see all the time"---ha, ha.

Almost never see them and it's certainly a short supply and a possibly high demand for them.

Only negative for me would be it's nickel.

I very recently bought a super nice 15-4, 2 inch barrel for $550 from a LGS. Had a hang tag of $599. And I think it was a very good deal for me. Oh, BTW a nickel model would have been even better! Here's a pic.

"I want it. What should I pay?"

Sounds like a set up for what "will" you pay .

And for me that would be the icing on the cake.
Different strokes for sure.

I'd be on that for $600 in a heartbeat, and I've already got two blue ones. Certainly I would be happy to pay less, but I wouldn't be surprised to have to pay more, particularly if condition is near perfect.

Model 15-3 not 15-2

Just picked up today. Beautiful revolver.

You got a nice one, a little Flitz and an old T-shirt rag and a little time and that nickle will look like new.

M15 2", Gotta have one

I just looked on GB for my own benefit as I have been on a M15 bender of late. Thus far I have purchased a 15-2-3-4 all blued in 90% and up condition with an average price of $500. I purchased a slightly finished challenged (cylinder only) second -2 for $400, well just because it was there at that price. These revolvers are really a nice piece of work and in very limited supply much unlike my also favorite 4" version. I have never had a great interest in a nickel finished gun so I am probably not going to be temped to buy one unless of course it is at a terribly affordable price , but I know that is not likely due to the amount of folks that do find a nickel finish attractive.
I was a bit taken back by the prices listed today on less than 10 listings I bet the average price on the blued versions was $600-$650, and some were in 80% or less condition. I know that doesn't mean they will sell but their demand seems to be growing like any other CC gun. I wish I knew the ratio of manufactured 2" to 4". Everyone who enjoys a M15 should have one, here is my first.
