I think your gun may date from a little earlier. 1975 or 76. 15-2s  started with serial number 50,000 and they had the early target grips like yours that date to the earliest Dans. They also did not yet have interchangable front sights with colored ramps. It seems the 15-2 was designed and produced earlier than we had previously believed. I think they started making them in 1974 or a year earlier and were selling porkchop models also until they ran out of them. I am of the unfounded opinion that they dumped  the last 20,000 models 14 and 15 on High Standard to sell as Sentinel MK II and III. That is one reason High Standard never had extra Barrel Assemblies. This is pure conjecture. 

   I had several ambitions back in the mid sixties. I craved a GTO, a Norton motorcycle, a 14 ft Donzi deep V with a Boss 302, and a wife and family. The only one I got was the wife and family, finally.   

That's interesting information. Thanks! I'm not sure when my dad bought it. It would have been late 70's. But, he wasn't the first owner. '75-'77 is close enough for my curiosity. FYI. I sold it to my friend around 1994 for $175. I recall that being a pretty good deal even then.

Funny about what we end up with vs. what we think. I've had (3) '72 Chevy pickups, (1) '67 Nova, (2) '64 GTO's, (1) '55 Chevy sedan delivery, and (2) '65 Chevelles. I may be missing some. I only have the GTO, and an '86 K5 Blazer, now. Have a wife and two kids also.

Is this a factory and/or rare grip? I was planning on making finger grooves in it etc. If it's kinda rare, I won't mess it up. I'm trying to order an LB grip for it right now anyway.
