started off pretty good today, got to meet the "boys" for lunch and Laura got her New Years gift..............
added to her "original" #3102 ,first Red Eagle she got ( her FIRST gun really) and another year later, in 1982, when the Bill Ruger Signature model arrived on the scene, we were able to match up her "first " and the last RST-4 in 1982 ,the #17-03102, and today we were able to get a type II RSS , and it too is serial number #3102................

Hey Dan, that is quite a score. We checked our "Cats" lists and that number is not on it. We will note it in our "what folks need" book and keep an eye out for it.

Thanks guys, and like Radical pointed out, its that "first one" that kinda gets things 'going' and that Red eagle #3102 was Lauras FIRST gun, ever......
but "thankfully" its ONLY "old" 22 's that she keeps anymore, so bottom line is ONE Bearcat, and ONE 'Lightweight' that would fall in her collecting range.........she sold off MOST everything after 1959-60...........
