I got this BKH34 flattop back in 2012 and it was discussed in the Collectibles section with general agreement that it is the highest known example of the Type 2A transition variation, which is a type 2 in all respects except still retains the type 1 base pin with narrow lands/grooves. The type 2 is known as low as 9304 and the combination of parts used was a random occurrence due to the "parts bin" assembly process. Previously known high number for this type was 11588. About 1800 of this variation were made. Condition is as shown with some wear, most notably holster wear at the left muzzle, front edge of cylinder, and left shoulder, a fairly heavy turn line, and some dings to the butt. As I recall, there was a collector who really wanted it but it wasn't for sale at the time and so my "I don't want to sell" price was $950 and his "I'd pay that if it were in better condition" counteroffer was $750. Unfortunately, I can't recall who that was. Maybe he will see this. Well, time marches on and my son is getting married, so I need to scrape up funds for their wedding gift.

I marked this one SPF a few hours ago but the buyer switched gears and is buying another one of my guns instead. So it is back up for sale.

powder smoke, my son's wedding was last year (they celebrated their 1st anniversary a few weeks ago) and I did end up giving him a Ruger, but it was a left-hand .308 Scout rifle with a prototype stock and factory letter describing the stock as experimental.
