First DA Ruger found the receipt.

[jimbo1096]

Going through a lot of old paperwork, dealing with family present and past I looked into an envelope and there was a folded piece of paper about 2“ x 3“ long folded. With gentle haste I unfolded the paper to find it was a receipt from the store in National City California Dated 7/8/1980 when I lived in Coronado. It was for one Ruger GA 34H which ended up being my side arm when I worked for the SPD. At the time it cost me $215 +12.90 tax for a take-it home of $227.90. I wish I could find them like that anymore .

When you find something like that it usually brings back a flood of memories. Sounds like they are good ones. Thanks for sharing them with us.

A great find.

As noted above, if you still have it and the box, put it with them.

yessir, that is neat, good find and as noted above keep it all together when you can....

Nothing unusual here. Nor is it a particularly good price. For insurance purposes I keep a lock box of the receipts for every gun I ever owned. If I ever sold one the sold receipt is also attached.

My oldest Rugers were a Single Six and a Security Six. The former was $79 and the latter $85. The best deal, however, was for a High Standard .22 Target pistol for $45 from a buddy.
