Mine is No. 200280
Bought in a big downtown gunshop in St Louis ca. 1955 as a college kid for $45. Sent back to Ruger for a steel cylinder which cost, as I recall, $5.00. It also wears an aftermarket loading gate and hand carved grips. But I still have the original (somewhat battered) box, gate, olive cylinder and grips. Of all my Ruger, this is still my favorite!

Two to add...

205952 All blue alloy
206000 LWSC and has an extra blue alloy cylinder. This is the way this gun came from the employee who owned it, Hal Seagraves (Ruger's patent attorney), who was also the recipient of the serial number 6 subscription collection. The gun is NIB.

I have the box (not gun) for LW SN: 201482 S. The box contains a 1980 letter to the then current owner and another letter from 1986. The box is in excellent shape. The current owner of the gun might be interested in it, just pm me.
