Made for only a short period with black eagle grips, this A-100 frame standard auto is a hard to find model with the 6" barrel and walnut panels. I don't have a letter for it, but it should be a model RST6-W where the W denotes the wood panels. Regarding A-100 frame black eagle autos, RENE states: "General serial number range 11-33549 to 11-71175. All are fairly scarce.". Most were 4-3/4" and most had the black plastic panels. After this serial range, the grip medallions were changed to the "squashed chicken" silver eagle. Comes with box, manual, and even the seldom seen brown grease paper shipping wrap used before about 1975. Condition is 98-99% with strong blue and just a few finish imperfections including a couple small nicks in the right side of the frame below the back of the rear sight and very minor holster rub at the high edge of the receiver just before it drops off to the barrel. The bore is bright and shiny with crisp rifling. Last pic of gun with action open shows some oil, I did not clean that out, appears well cared for. The manual is dated 1970 and not really being an auto guy, I don't know if that is correct or whether a revised manual came out in 1972 to illustrate the relocation of the magazine button from right to left. The box is very good and fairly tight but there is a scuff mark on one of the long edges.
