Stablemate to flatgate's well-worn .357 Flat Top

[Unconverted]

This Flat Gate looks like it's the long lost sibling of flatgate's famous well-worn .357 Flat Top.

Flatgate's .357...

BTW, I didn't put this post in Auction Links because I just wanted members to see the revolver, not to bid on it. Maybe flatgate can post side-by-side photos?

I paid One Hundred hard earned dollars for that ol' Flattop to a Pawn Shop employee whom owed me a little favor......

Well worth it flatgate! That photo is a Rugerforum icon. And, you got original grips.

The seller divulged the serial number, but it doesn't have a "100" in it. The old mare is up to $305. Wow!

I love it when a seller describes a well worn gun with most of the blue worn off and having a "nice patina". :lol:
For the right price, I'd have no problem carrying and shooting this one.

It is already past "right price" for me, but I'd carry and shoot it, too. Anyone else notice the screw in the topstrap and that the ejector rod head is dimpled?

Not exactly. There were "bubba brand" hand carved pine grips on the poor thing.

The grips worked great for wood stove kindling...... yes, they were THAT bad....
