The following photos are from the 6th Annual Ruger Collectors Display Show in Bosie Idaho, January 10 & 11,2015.
First & foremost, I must give public acknowledgement to Hank & Susan Green for their hard work with this year's show! There is a lot of "behind the scenes" work that takes place long before the show weekend arrives that we the displayers don't see. As in past years, another successful show!
This year we had eleven displays presented by seven displayers (two were first time displayers) traveling from California, Utah & various locations in Idaho judged under Ruger Owners & Collectors Society (ROCS) judging rules, People's Choice Award & the show promoter.
Ruger Row (that's Terry T in the following four photos)
Following are the top winners for each category;
Under Ruger Owners & Collectors Society (ROCS) judging rules, top honors went to the following;
1st place Novice Class went to "Steve's Favorites" display presented by Steven Joel A
There were no Intermediate Class displays
1st place Advance Class was a tie between two outstanding displays;
"Special Vaquero's" display presented by circlergrugers (Hank G)
"White Box Super Blackhawks 1960-1961" display presented by SteveRuger (Steve A), which was awarded ROCS Best in Show after the tie breaker
Best Ruger of Show (BROS) award went to the Super Single Six with the experimental sand blast finish presented by ubme (Shawn L). A very rare Super Single Six!
Peoples Choice Award, Most Educational Award & the show promoter Lewis Clark Traders Best In Show was awarded to "Sturm, Ruger & Company Old Army Revolvers" display presented by lovemydals (Dennis C)

I'm hoping that I covered all eleven displays. Just in case I didn't, I apologize in advance.
A really big THANK YOU goes to Hank & Susan G for their effort to make this show a reality. Also, the displayers deserve acknowledgement as well. I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to next years show.
Enjoy everyone!
