Here's a neat one....the gun has honest wear on it but it is surprising it even made it out of the factory! It is model RSSMX.
With the black eagle medallions this gun has as well as the lack of a circle R trademark symbol on the left side of the cylinder frame, it should have left the factory as a 20- prefix gun.
Also, with GCA '68 having just occurred by the time this gun was made, it is a wonder it ever left like this as #9539 would have shown up as being originally shipped in 1955. 20-09539 however is listed in Ruger's records as being shipped April 1969. Sounds like an employee just stuffed it in the box and got it out of there.
