Currently my two DWs, the top one is a 715 that was made into a quasi pistol pack (tools, 8″ and 2″ barrels) I believe from the boxes that it came as a 6″. Just picked it up today off layaway.
The “back in black” 15 DW is out of my complete pistol pack.
The 715 is a little used with a good solid dragline and some hammer wear but well cared for (oops I dropped the 8″ barrel on concrete today by accident but was able to steel wool polish out most of the nip at the end) but will make a good trail carry wesson.
Anyone know why the serial number begins with “SD”?

I've actually been working on a theory on that subject. I guess I probably have compiled enough info to post what I've got. I'll do that.
Your 715 is a Monson gun, right?
Oh &...

A lot of Monson serials for 7 series guns began with Sx where x is a letter which depends on caliber. I actually thought all of the stainless guns were serialed this way. Examples from my collection:
722 = SA…
715 = SD…
741 = SC…
744 = SB…
740 = SE…
Exceptions to the rule from my collection:
722M = 22MS…
745 = 445S…
and my other 740 has only an E as a prefix.
All of these are Monson guns.

jimbob-
I just picked up on the Ying/Yang 
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Here's my Ying/Yang, a 15/715 3" Fixed Barrel set.
I just brought home the 715 tonight, it feels great! I'm sure it will be as good of a shooter as the 15 is.

Not exactly the same calibers, but one is a .357, the other has the same numbers in a different order, so...close to a Ying-Yang.

Y'all are killin me. I already told the misses I want a camera for Xmas. Great pics guys.
Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.
...and that 4th power pic is a cool idea.
