Craig TalcottMonson, MALarge Frame15-2 (.357 Mag) Target1978172097

This 15-2VH is mint as is the box and the paperwork. It looks like someone bought and put it the safe for nearly 40 years. It is perfect with all the paperwork. In the paperwork is the 1978 Dan Wesson Price List as of April 1, 1978. So my guess would be possibly Late 1977 to Early 1978.
