WTK:iterature on old Blackhawk

[tal35]

I have the combined instructions and parts list for Ruger Revolvers, revised March 31, 1957 . Does it have any collectors value? Covers the single six, single six lightweight, 357 and 44 . Printed 9/58 . I found it in some of my old literature.

Sounds like you have the "4 choice" manual. Yes, they certainly do hold some value for collectors.

Thanks Pete, Any thoughts on worth?

Condition is everything.

In my experience they sell for $10 to $35 or $40.... depending on the "I gotta have one" factor.

As Flatgate has mentioned,, condition is a big part of pricing. However,,, there are actually a couple of different dates on those manuels. The outer cover has the same date, but inside,, there is also another dating. That also has bearing on the prices.
Many of us, (me included,) need copies of these manuels.

I can assure you the "four choice instruction and parts list" flatgate posted is not one of the $10, $35 or $40 ones. :wink:

Which manual was the one that flatgate was talking about? "four choice instruction and parts list" flatgate posted is not one of the $10, $35 or $40 ones

there are about 4 different 'dates' stamped inside of the 4 gun manuals, and ANY of them are very desireable, and 308s comments were that the manual YOU are picturing is of MORE value that the pricing quoted above, yes, we would LOVE to find AND buy any of the 4 gun manuals for those prices, I would NOT sell any for less than say in the $60-75 range, and if in an auction, just may go even higher...they are getting 'scarce' for NICE ones.......many of the guys are looking for them, I know 'tommygun' over near Pittsburg has been calling around looking,as well as 'Conteneder, but Ty may be needing one of the 'various dated ones, not just "any old one"........ :roll:
you got a 'hot item' there,good luck................... :wink:

well, I am interested in selling the manual. Please pm me offline with a fair offer, maybe I should list it in classifieds, but dont know what a good asking price would be. Just want a fair amount as I am unemployed. Thank you
