Ruger round eagle SILE buckle, brass with orig. plastic SILE bag with pic of the eagle buckle on the front. Note that this buckle was authorized by Ruger, then “Unauthorized”…$50.
Rare Raintree buckle, original type with gold eagle, new…$75.
Another Rare Raintree oval buckle and the only one I’ve seen like it…Red clear enamel Ruger eagle on engraved type background, new…$75.
Rare box of four CoasterStone coasters. These were given to distributors only in the mid 1980’s about the same time that Ruger gave their poker chip sets out to their distributors, which were around 52 at the time…$100.
The following seven items all came from the possession of Jim Triggs and are all believed to have been completed by him as he is known to have done a number of photo etching projects for the Ruger factory as well as for the Ruger Collectors’ Association…
“MASTER PHOTOENGRAVING PATTERN” of the left side of a Number 1 receiver on a 4” x 5” polished steel plate. Features a round New Hampshire “Old Man of the Mountain” motif in the center of the receiver panel with “STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE LIVE FREE OR DIE” surrounding, and floral type engraving over the balance of the receiver area panel. Also marked with “Copyright 1978” and then the Sturm, Ruger address. Note that the Old Man of the mountain appears hand engraved on this master pattern.
Same as above, except on the right side of a number 1 receiver. In this case, the “Old Man of the Mountain” motif appears etched and not handengraved as it has much deeper relief.
Same type as above except features the left side of a Number 1 receiver and within the round panel at the center is the New Hampshire state seal. Below the pattern also appears “Copyright 1978” along with the Sturm, Ruger & Co. address.
“MASTER PHOTOENGRAVING PATTERN FOR LYMAN PRODUCTS CORPORATION COPYRIGHT 1978”. This is a 4” x 5” polished steel plate of an etching pattern for the left side of a Number 1 receiver. Features the words “EDITION II” with the semi-curved word “CENTENNIAL” above. At the upper left and lower right corners of the receiver pattern is scroll engraving, with smaller amounts of engraving also at the upper right and lower left portions of the receiver. The Sturm, Ruger & Co. address is below, and this plate has a blued finish. This etching pattern was used for the Series II Lyman Centennial rifle 1 of 1000
“MASTER ENGRAVING PATTERN” of the left side of a Number 1 receiver. This polished steel plate with blue finish measures 3-11/16” x 4”. It features the outspread wings of a landing eagle within a circle of 13 gold stars. To the left of the eagle and inset as a small round panel is the star logo of the U.S. Bicentennial. The outline of the receiver and outline of the Bicentennial logo are in gold. The only thing I can say with this pattern is that it was evidently a pattern for a prospective Bicentennial Number 1 rifle. A bonus with this plate (and I didn’t remember it, so I don’t have a picture) is that there is another etching pattern on the back which is titled “No. 3 Carbine Receiver – Right Side” with the Sturm, Ruger & Co. address below and below that the right side of a #1/#3 Receiver with oval panel in the center having a light pattern of the right side of a buffalo standing on a mound. The receiver screw is finished in a symmetrical floral pattern and the balance of the receiver is in extensive floral scroll.
The final steel plate measures 4” x 5” and has a blued high polish finish. It has what looks to be a family coat of arms for the Wesselhoft family. The coat of arms and “Wesselhoft” are in gold (looks to be what you would call selective gold layering), and the rub marks are still apparent on the surface of this plate where the gold was rubbed in. Carl Wesselhoft was a brother-in-law to William B. Ruger and from 1973 to 1991 served as a Ruger sales rep for 13 southeastern states.
The last plate is made of copper, is 6” x 4-1/4” and is an actual printing plate used to print the envelopes for the invitation to Ruger’s “Special Press Luncheon” on May 19, 1979 at the 1979 NRA show where the Redhawk was introduced. This plate comes in a torn but genuine envelope that the copper plate actually printed.
$50 each or $300 for the group of 7 plates.
Scarce “Ruger Carbine” insert for the 1961/1962 era Ruger booklet catalog with the Ruger Carbine pictured on the back page…mint, $25.

Same as above only this one was printed for “Precision Tool & Gun” of Ithaca, NY. I never have heard the whole story on this, but I have seen one other like it. It is also printed on the same weight of yellowish gold paper that the Dealer Price Sheet was printed above, so I’ve always assumed that Ruger printed these for their distributors and or certain dealers…Mint with only tri-folds…$35.
