Ruger Deerstalker question..

[mike722]

What month in 1961 did the first Deerstalker ship out? I can't seem to find it, I am thinking around September?

How is it that Scott has not talked you out of that gun?

 

[ruger66]

It would be even harder now I have this to go with it!

 

[contender]

That's SURE to get Scott to drooling. A mated pair of single digits,,, WHEW!!!!!!!!!!! Nice pair there!

[ruger66]

Now Vaughn

 

[ruger66]

#5 was Tom Ruger then Hank Williams Jr.
Label on the box.

 

[mr.deerstalker]

I talked to Hank about 25 years ago to buy #5, to pair them up, he would not sell, so now I say, well done Vaughn!

 

[Ruger45]

A pair to be admired for sure.

The #4 collection was for sale back in the 80s. You could buy it for $60,000! This collector also had 3 consecutive factory engraved Single-Sixes for I think $12,000. That was a lot of money back then as the engraved Single-Sixes were selling for $2500 to $3000.
