I would talk to the person responsible for his actions. I would have him dig up the other stump (if not to large). I would furnish him a new sapling, for him to plant and explain that this new tree is his responsibility for the rest of his life, to make sure no kid cuts it down or damages it to...
It is not the Convertible. Single cylinder only. Yes it does have the star in front of the trigger guard. I agree, lot of people do not know what the Star revolver is.
My friend has a Blackhawk 357/9mm which came in a Regular 357 box. But the cardboard box that came with it had the serial number hand written on it, just as you stated.
A friend has a NIB Ruger single six, stainless, 9.5” barrel. Trying to figure a value on this. If anybody has any information would be appreciated. Thank you
