The brassie isn't mine. But I did see a copy of the letter. August 1972. I also gave this info to Chad,, to update his records. Apparently an early shipped brassie.
Yep, that one falls right in the middle of a group that shipped in September. There are quite a few so shipped early. Thanks.

Interesting. It shipped in August,, yet falls into the "September" batch.
A nice gentleman in Ohio has it. We'd discussed it last year at OGCA/ROCS. I strongly urged him to get the letter. He came to see me and let me know it lettered. I saw the copy of the letter & saw it was in August.

Happened a lot. Ruger's shipping was not very strictly monitored, and the stuff just got shipped when it floated to the top of the pile.

Mine is a .357 Mag OM (3 screw) Blackhawk from 1965, with a 6 1/2" barrel, S/N 83030.Yep, all "three-screw" Old Model .357 Blackhawks. Just post here, the serial number and barrel length. That's all that's required in The List . . . no names or other personal data is ever included. If it has a 9mm cylinder, include that info as well, and If it has been "lettered" it's good info for the sake of documentation of ship date and any notable features such as a brass grip frame, or having had the transfer bar "safety conversion".
If you are not comfortable posting the info here publicly, a PM -- "conversation" -- to me will do nicely.
So entered. Thanks.

Creeping dementia rears its head all too often these days.
At least it allows me to think I'm sleeping with a different woman every night.

That made me bust out laughing.

Not a problem. Not the first time it has happened and won't be the last. As old as these guns are it's not uncommon for subsequent owners to post them for inclusion on The List.
