Single-Sixer
I just acquired a single six this morning after seeing it posted online and the seller is local. The serial is 114XXX which I think puts it at a 1958'sh timeframe. Forgive any novice statements please as I currently had only new model Rugers. This is a single cylinder 22LR only. I thought the price was upper top shelf...but condition is also. For some reason the seller listed in 95+ condition. I am an experienced Colt SA collector, and this one is 99%. No turn line no bluing loss at all and even sharp edges are perfect bluing. The frame is a plum color now so maybe that explains the bblue rating. I'm not sure if that is desirable or not. Grips brand new black plastic with silver ruger symbol. I did not do much research but I do know old in perfect shape brings premium in most everything. Has been converted with original parts still factory wrapped. Original paperwork and manual. Unfired by the owner. The rear sight is not screw adjustable and is slightly more forward mounted in front of the hammer. My question is the box. Plain Cardboard. No writing on the outside with grey foam eggshell bottom side. Seller said was likely what ruger sent the box back in after the conversion. I will post pics of gun and box later but does this sound like a ruger box? Anyone who would preserve a gun and paperwork like this would have a box one would expect.
