Sorry, wrong box. It should NOT have a Catalog Number on the end.

The condition is poor and the value is less than $20, IMHO.

It looks like a scarce Type IV from the appearance of the ejector rod button. The Type's I through III have the early, serrated button.

The Single-Sixes value? The images are lacking in detail, however it appears the ejector housing and trigger guard are missing some finish. I'd say around twice what you paid, depending on what the "other side" looks like.

Still, it is what it is, an early Flatgate Single-Six and it deserves a good home :D

Thanks for sharing!

The box marked RSS5 on the end wouldn't be from the era your gun was built, but is something to store it in anyway.
