I value the opinions of the people on this forum and you have really helped me in the past with my fathers RSS9. I would really appreciate your opinions on what you would rate this super on condition and a rough estimate of value. I know value all depends on the right buyer and what they are willing to pay, I would just like to get an ideal of average price. I tried to look on Gun Broker but didn't find a lot of examples.
As far as I know its an unconverted S47 1967 Super Blackhawk with the aluminum ejector rod housing and sight. Everything seems to be correct for the SN date. The box is not in great shape and I'm not sure what can be done about it, I'm open to suggestions. The manual and warrantee card are pretty good but not perfect. I also have the original receipt dated 9-5-1967. It shows a trade in of a JC Higgins pump shotgun plus $75.26. A price marked on the inside of the box bottom is $116.00. It doesn't appear to have been shot much but it does have a little wear. There is some wear on the end of the muzzle, I'm not sure if its holster wear or from the box. It Has a couple of scratches on the bottom side of the barrel from the base pin and a place on the bottom of the trigger guard that you can see in the right light. It has a little freckling on the back of the grip frame that I find is almost impossible to show in pictures but you can see it if you get the light just right.
I do not have a letter from Ruger at this point. I will get one when they start taking request again. Any additional information I need to know? Anything specific I need to ask when requesting the letter?
I'm not the best photographer and with the high polish I had a hard time with fingerprints and oil sheen. I tried to include pictures that show the wear as much as possible.

Thanks for the help.
