I've never heard of a 14-2, just 14. Could this be a 15-2? There is a difference in the barrel shrouds between the two, and they wont interchange.
If the barrel shroud has a leg extending down the front of the frame it is a 14. If not, then 15-2. Appearance wise the look of the 14's barrel shroud give me the vapors, but it does have one advantage the 15-2 doesn't have because you can remove the cylinder and crane after removing the barrel.
Personally, I wouldn't go $250 for a cosmetically challenged 14. Mainly because spare barrels for them are so difficult to find.
