Pictured here is very likely the bu** ugliest 44 Flattop in existance today. Shipped in Jan of 1960 this gun, 2302x, it is so bad even Ruger only partially claims it. The nice lady's in records do admit it was shipped but do not have the original invoice. Couldn't even find it on micro-fish. Gun is unconverted, unsighted, un base pin latched and untrigger guarded. Close inspection reveals it has not been reblued although the grips are most likely not factory.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE: the rifling is bright, sharp and shinny in the 7 1/2 bbl.
I like guns with character but this one really pushes the limit.
Just goes to show there is interesting stuff at shows outside of Ohio.
