I am new to the Ruger revolver world. Can you tell me what a flatgate that is 98 to 99% with no box or papers is worth? May have a chance to purchase this gun. Input much appreciated.
There are four generally recognized variations of the Flatgate Single-Sixes (Engraved guns not included.) Their values are basically related to their production numbers.
The early guns feature a differently configured "breech face" and slightly different rollmarks. They have become the most valuable.
Post some images here and the gang will be able to "tell you all about it"!
