5) Vibrate off the sideplate by tapping the grip stud with a nylon hammer or wood screwdriver handle
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.

The bead blasted finish on the bottom is the give away - Charger Fan had the good eye on this one. I change my vote - Hard Chrome.

maybe this is the original box then? I gonna have to take that side plate off to tonight. I didn't have the time last night. I wonder if it being chromed has anything to do with it the side plate being so difficult to remove.

It's a possibility. However, I have one blued W12 with a side plate that is an absolute bear to get off. Some do fit tighter than others.
Well, I am glad seem to have been able to get to the bottom of this, and I must say that in one good looking 15-2 you have there!
I would be proud to own that gun.

I came across this forum recently.I have a Dan Wesson .357 which I think is a 15-2 but not positive.It is a Monson stamped gun with serial number 218848 and appears to me to be nickel or high polish stainless.I had this passed down from my uncle and love the gun, but i have always been curious of the mfg date and value.

Welcome to DWF.
S/N 218848 is most likely to be a 1979 15-2. Stainless guns were introduced in 1982 and all the stainless guns we are aware of have "SD" or "357S" as part of the S/N.
It is possible that this is factory (actually aftermarket through DW) nickel on a 15-2.
