1954 Flatgate Single-Six

[Watertender]

A friend of mine has an early Single-Six Flatgate that he bought new in 1954 and is looking to sell it. It has sit in the box on a shelf in the closet since he bought it and he wants it to go to a deserving home of someone who knows and appreciates Ruger firearms. It's reddish purple and absolutely beautiful. The serial number is 4125 and I will get pictures soon.

I would be interested just because it's a 1954 and I've always wanted one like that. Besides, if Golfer was born in 54 he's too old to be collecting revolvers

I will try to get pictures but he is hard to catch sometimes. Give me an idea of what you might offer for it. Maybe we can hook up someone with it

Yes the serial number 4125 and post date 4/1/25 do make it highly suspicious… just saying

Noooooo! Would I do that??

 

[contender]

Remember the beautiful matched pair case that I gave Flattop44? It was for a pair of 38's in DDD! He looked absolutely stunning in red velvet!!
JAYDAWG privately offered me a bag of marbles and 3 geoducks and a set of brakes for a 1992 Yugo. I told him if he threw in a pair of shoes for contender that I might consider his bid.

You should have seen the Salt Cod Pistol at the ROCS banquet in 2018! I had several good pranks at that show.

Well played @Watertender . You had me dreaming of unicorns! Of course I knew I didn't stand a chance against any of these "old timers" Thanks for the giggles!

You have seen me in action. You know I can get some good laughs. The red velvet case for Bill got the crowd going and the holster for the other Bill was another good one. The caster wheel on the end of the 12 inch holster was perfect for the short legged collector who has long barreled revolvers
