I recently won this on GB. My goal was to have a 1960 marked Single Six and Single Six Magnum. (I was born in 1960). It showed up to be a little more worn than I had hoped for, but I still am happy with the purchase.
I got the Letter- turns out it is a RSSMW that originally came with both the WMR and LR cylinders. I only got the WMR cylinder. It also should have had walnut grips, but instead it came with a nice set of rubber grips. The grip frame is a little beat up, and the bluing is thin in spots. I haven't had the opportunity to shoot it yet.
At some point I would like to get a set of nice original walnut grips. Maybe even the LR cylinder. But for now I'm happy.
I was hoping for one that was built in the month I was born, but no such luck. (I also got a letter for my .45 built in 1976, 200th year marking - it was born in July. So that's pretty cool in my book). The original seller of this Single Six was Edward K. Tryon & Co- billed as " The oldest gun house in America" so that's pretty cool too.
