JAYDAWG you haven't got enough marbles to offer a fair trade in the classifieds. Beautiful flatgate and nice to be seen. Thanks for showing us victorio1sw.According to John Dougans book....................
The 93 was one of the first 14 guns produced, December 15th 1953.
An historic one for sure.
Slide that baby over to the classifieds..............
Cheers,

Just wondering .....I mean if it was the 14th one made as was mentioned earlier.....I wonder why it was numbered as #93....which is still ridiculously low, but only the 14th one made ?? The story of this gun would be very interesting for Ruger fans I would think ?? Definitely interesting for me.
Jay,Very cool.
I love these type 1 RSS's.....
And I would appreciate any knowledge the letter reveals.
Cheers,
Jay
I first found that W. A. L Thompson had purchased the hardware store of Whitmer & Smith, and will continue this business at the same location on May 24, 1878 in the Topeka Daily Commonwealth..Jay,

A couple of questions about this letter. Is the Gold Seal a new feature, to make it look official?
The letter does confirm what some of you predicted, that it was manufactured in Dec 1953. But it further states that it was shipped to a hardware store in Topeka, KS in Dec 1953.
