Loving the purple  

Many of us here call those a "Barney gun". I may/may not have started that. But yes, Barney guns are/can be sweet. Other gun aficionados genuinely revere the purple hue that develop on guns of their interest. Ruger fans come to mind, those guys love it...maybe because the whole frame changes, versus with a DW, where the side plate doesn't, yet the rest of the frame does. I've seen twice where the barrel shroud has very closely matched the Barney color of the frame.

Myself, I'm not much of a Barney fan...but, to each his own! And having one in your hands certainly could make a guy fall in love.  

To answer your main question, you have a Model 15-2V (1st & 3rd pics), and a Model 14-2. I'm glad you posted the 3rd pic because from what I can see, you are missing your cylinder stop (from the side plate). It's fairly common on the early 15-2's.
