I went to one of the local gun shows yesterday and made a misteak. I brought home a ANIB speed-six. The only marks that I've found on the revolver are the marks from turning the cylinder. It doesn't even look like it's been fired. And no bluing wear loss either. It also came with the correct box and paperwork. The box is in great shape and unmarked.
Anyway, here's what I found in the Reference of Ruger Firearms. "SS-84L = 156-88929 to 157-16489 (note, this is an overrun from a government contract. Early guns are marked "RUGER MODEL SS84L" on the right side of the frame, and later guns have normal "RUGER SPEED-SIX" rollmark.
It does have the warning and inc. on the barrel and it is also marked RUGER SPEED-SIX on the frame. And the SN fits the range, only about 60 higher than the low number. Am I looking at this right and I just might have found a bit of a rarity? And if you think it is, would it be worth it to get it lettered from Ruger? TIA for any info you can give me.
