Several Ruger Boxes and instruction manuals

[RoninPA]

I'm looking for several boxes and instruction manuals to go with some Rugers I own and display. They don't have to be 100% perfect I just want/need them for several Rugers that I use in displays so people can see the different boxes/manuals that were used when they were made. Good end labels are always plus. I need them for the following:

Ruger .357 Magnum Blackhawk Flat Top (BKH-34) - I have heard that this one might be a bit hard to find
Ruger .357 Magnum Blackhawk New Model (BN-34)

My disply is Titled "RUGER Single Action and Double Action .357 Magnum Revolvers" and has examples of the 4 5/8 and 6 1/2 inch Blackhawks on the right side and the 4 and 6 inch Six Series and GP-100's on the left side. I have examples of the Old Models boxes/instruction manuals (I heard the 6 1/2" Flat Top used the same box as the 6 1/2" OM's) and all of the boxes and manuals for the Six Series and GP's but when I got the Flat Tops and New Models at different shows through the years they did not come with the box/manual.

You can let me know what you might be willing to part with and the asking price via message here.

Oh, in case you might be looking for a trade(s), I have boxes (and shippers) for Six Series, Redhawks, and SP101's as well as instruction manuals for those and GP100's.

That .347 Blackhawk is a very rare one ;)

Flat Top box for 6-1/2” is the same as for the later protected sight old model as the BKH-36 got added when they made the 6-1/2” in addition to the original 4-5/8” models, The early Flat Top boxes did not state a barrel length as they were all 4-5/8”. I have a few 6-1/2” boxes but doubt I have the shorter one. Manuals dated to time of manufacture are tough to come by as is the early Flat Top box. I will check my boxes and manuals with a reply to follow. Ebay is a good source for these items as well. Don’t you usually do Security and Speed Sixes to include #46?

Yes I normally do the DA's (due to them being my speciality) but I looked over my Ruger collection last year and noticed I had the .357 Mag Flattops, Old Models and a 6 1/2" New Model so I tracked down a 4 5/8" New Model and got that to complete the "set". So I decided to display Rugers 357's in both SA and DA from oldest to newest.

I did also find out the FT's and OM's share the same box but I noticed that NM's had a model # change to BN instead of BKH. If I am wrong, I will reread my notes.

I'm also going to edit my WTB to try to find a box with the BN-34 or BN-36 end label so I have examples of what they were sold in.

Found a BN-36 box in my collection (it was buried) so I edited my post to narrow it to a 4 5/8 Flat Top box and manual and a BN-34 box. The BN-36 box was one of the gray plastic boxes and the manual in it was labeled MRN, KMRN & BMRN/8-99 R3.

BKH34 box with warranty card if it helps. Not a bad price.

Thank you for the info, that is a decent price, but I have one for my OM, need one for a Flat Top and a NM. Need to peruse eBay and see what I might turn up.

This is the style Ron's looking for.

Ok wasn't sure, I know the BKH box carried over.
