Arfmel is right.... the serial number is for a 1971 SW K-series K-frame with adjustable sights....

That top picture is not a Speed Six, it does not have a shape of a round butt. Also the serial number in the second picture is not centered but towards the rear of the butt. Ruger centered their s/n's pretty closely. The second picture (of the Speed Six) shows the rounded butt and that would be seen in the first picture. I think the guy got some pictures mixed up.

That said, from the second picture, if you can get it for $300 or less, that is a VERY VERY good price.

That is a filthy gun. If that is an indication of how the seller takes care of it, I would be very careful and go over the gun properly before purchasing. Maybe even bring a few cleaning supplies. Good luck.
