Ruger Single Six Light Weight with ivory stocks

[xx78]

I was asked in another thread to post a few pictures of my Light Weight Single Six so I'll do so here. The Ruger was purchased by my Father on 11-30-57 for $63.15 so the receipt says. I think he said he paid $10.00 or so for the Ivory stocks from Ruger soon after buying the Single Six. I grew up shooting this Ruger and still enjoy shooting it every now and again. Please excuse the poor pictures.

Very nice gun and box! Can you post a picture of the back of the ivory grips? You just don't see original ivory grips that often.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful old Lightweight Single-Six!

One just doesn't see them very often and to see one with its' original box and Factory Ivory grips is stunning!

Wow!

We have in common owning our father's SS. A beautiful OM you have! Maybe my dad overpaid two years before your father purchased his, but I know his (non-OEM) Sambar stag grips were purchased same day. I think the receipt reflects combined cost. Ah, the good old days!

Normally I wouldn't clutter an OP's thread with my own pictures, but since you asked I added a few to my prior post! :lol:
This gun lived its entire life in the Clark holster pictured in the last image, thus the finish isn't perfect but still quite good for 54+ years.

Very nice, very nice indeed. The stocks look beautiful.

Very good stuff shown here! Provenance, especially when "from the Family" is wonderful!!!

Thanks for sharing, Gentlemen!
