Cool 1959 /60 book with a "Spanish" RSSE one the first page?

When digging around in the hanger, packing up for the spring grizzly bear hunting trip that I'm leaving on later this week, or early next week. I sat down and was reading a 1959 / copyright 1960 "Hand Gun Book". I open the book and one first page is what I be-leave to be a Ruger Flat Gate RSSE, and yes the "Spanish" versions??? with Ivory grips!!!

Well, that just made my day...Ill post a Photos soon....I have a "So Called" friend in in Utah that happens to have one of these's....He let me see and hold it.....

This book is on it's way to him in the AM.....that's the price I pay for knowing him!............LOL..........Enjoy!

I don't believe that to be one of the Single-Sixes engraved for the factory though, so not an RSSE, per se.
In fact, I think that Single-Six was engraved by the same individual who did the S&W right above it. Don't remember the engraver name though.

Was there no explanation of the photo in the book?

My first thought was that it's not a Spanish, but rather a Gun ReBlue job! Neat picture none the less!
