Here is an example of how Ruger handled a "miss Labeled" gun for a customer. Guy has it up for sale as a "Rare" collectible.
As a collector I would not place a premium on a miss labeled gun.

Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan, .454 Casull!
No reserve, Grizzly repellant! Rare error gun
•In stock, brand new, ready to ship! This has got to be one of the rarest guns to leave the Ruger factory, here is why: We ordered an Alaskan Backpacker Gun chambered in .480Ruger, model 5302 ( 05302 ) and they sent us this gun. The label on the box shows "Model 05302 and "CALIBER: 480 RUGER". But upon verification of the serial number, we realized that the box was miss-marked and that they had shipped us the 454 version of this beast.
The envelope that they put the spent casing in is marked with "480 Ruger", but contains a spent .454 shell casing! We got in touch with Ruger and they apologized for the goof up, and sent us a letter containing the labels that should have been on the box. We didn't apply them to the box, left them in the envelope as a "collectable mistake" that I can't say I've ever seen happen before. I think if's safe to say that this package is "1 of 1". A great addition to your Ruger collection, or if you invest in Rare Colt guns like the Python and Anaconda, or other rare limited edition guns, then this unique specimen will fit right in. The extra "correct" labels are included as shown, proof from Ruger regarding the true identity of this revolver and add value if you decide to part with it down the road.
