This winter a had a great visit with Bill Ruger Grandson Kurt Vogel. Yes Steven and Caroline Vogel son. We had a great visit. Always nice to chat about the old days, grandpa Bill, his dad Steve, and the passing of Bill Jr. in Sept of 2018.
After a nice visit and one thing lead to another, he offered me one of Bill Rugers guns from his personnel collection. He knew I was a serious collector and was happy to have in go to a good home.
Ruger #1 ser # 4611, in 45-70. Really Rare to find a nonperfix gun in big bore, I think less than 50 known. Two part checkering. No Govt stamp on the barrel next to 45-70.
Chet 15 sure can chim in with more info. Happy to have it in my pile. One great day with Kurt R. Vogel. The "R" is for Ruger.... if you did not know. Enjoy. Scott
