RUGER Co. and First Citizens National Bank

[RPM Enterprises]

After posting some pics on another thread on the proto type grips I was asked about a photo that had a button in it. Well the button is from First National Bank in New Hampshire. The paper work is dated January 31 1983. The forum member who asked about this particular button has one himself and to his knowelage only knows of two now. I think I remember a collector out of California possibly having one so this may be about 3 known? I posted some pics of the paper work for collectors to see. Enjoy

Shucks,, I just want ONE to complete out my stuff!

Not sure who is in the count but I have one

The trinket it is resting on is not too shabby either

 

[contender]

Ok, now we know of at least 4 of these pins. We need a few more to appear so that MAYBE somebody will part with one for my collection!
And I LIKE that packaged item the pin is resting on!

 

[circlergrugers]

Well I don't even have any paperwork!! never mind the pin.

[radicalrod]

I think Golferboy WINS :roll: :roll: :roll: PIN PAPERS GUNS......now that is a trifecta :lol: :lol: :lol: RR

 

[contender]

RR is right! The trifecta is the best we could do as collectors of such stuff!
But we are now up to 5 of these pins known!

 

[golferboy426]

don't be too quick to declare a winner, not sure if I have paperwork, I do have 3 guns but I'm not especially sure how yo prove it. haven't looked for invoices. I just have notes that dad received them in lieu of interest, Haven't even looked in the bound books yet

 

[contender]

Aaaawww, don't disappoint us now!
It would make an interesting display!

 

[radicalrod]

So how did this work.....get the guns up front or did you need to wait the prescribed time ??? RR.
