Trying to get an idea of the value in today's market for a factory brass frame Ruger Old Army. Gun is 99% with correct box, manual, wrench still in plastic bag. Box is 95%. What do you guys think? Pics added

140-09362 and 140-10067 are both lettered guns and I bet there are a lot more that missed the book. I have heard that about 2400 were shipped by Ruger.
Quarterbore said:Mine letters too - 140-17298 and it shipped 1974, just remember however that you can't take the lowest and the highest to figure out how many were made! Ruger skips numbers plus some of these in the middle would have had steel grip frames too.
HAWKEYE#28 said:$750+.........Box, papers, tool , MR3DB grip frame and panels, revolver, all top end condition. Do the math, starting with a grip frame and panels worth at least $375. Realisticall, it may be worth more.At some point we are our own worst enemy on values and have to stop living in the past. This package was worth more than $600 ten years ago. :roll:
flatgate said:Steel? I think not. Aluminum XR3-RED was the norm. The steel XR3-RED grip frames didn't appear until the early 1990's.
