A friend of mine inherited a completely new, unfired (first model) Ruger Vaquero .44 Mag. Stainless steel with the 4.63 inch (4 5/8ths) barrel. Both the original outer factory labeled shipping carton and the yellow display box have that barrel length, .44 Magnum and the correct serial number of the gun on them. The outer box has penciled in "1 of 158 mfd" on the label near the bar code. My friend took it to our LGS. He called Ruger to try and get some info, since he'd never seen or sold a 44 Vaquero with that barrel length.The Ruger rep. said he could find no record of manufacture of any .44 Mag Vaquero's in the 4 5/8ths barrel in either stainless or blued . Serial number is 55-248XX.
Please- Ruger experts can you shed any light on this gun and an approximate value??
