Ruger Old Model Single Six Serial Number History
Lester.357, tell ya what I'll give ya $451.00 for that little gun, you really made out lol. I had one that was exactly like yours, that I bought at the USMC Recruit Depot Commissary San Diego, Ca. In 1967, with the.22WMF cylinder, and like a dummy I sold it to a good buddy so I could buy a.357 S&W Model 19, when I first became a police officer back in 1970. I just talked to him a few months ago and he still has it, but is saving it for his grandson. I offered him a trade for a brand new one with adjustable rear sights and $200.00 but still he refused. Now I understand why. And at a good price.
I'm just not a proponent of safe queens. I would keep it and shoot it, but take special care of it. I have a number of favorites that go to the range from time to time that still look like new.
I'd keep it in a quality padded case, store in a humidity free environment, and wrap the box in a plastic bag and store separately to keep it pristine and avoid wear caused by use of access to the gun. If it needed to be my fishing bucket varmint repeller, I'd buy a solid but obviously used piece that I wouldn't need to obsess about any unavoidable wear and tear. If you really just don't have any use for a gun that should avoid unnecessary wear and tear, not even as an investment, I'd pass it along to someone who would appreciate it and buy another convertible you wouldn't be afraid to use.
Values are hard to determine locally. You will find some reluctance of a public number, because some will want to PM you and try to steal it. Around here, at a local show, I would imagine a price between 750.00 and 950, and it would take some patience to sell. Undoubtedly it may fetch a four figure price at an online auction site. It's one of those guns that might blow your mind one day and sell for 2500.00 and another day for 650.00 and you can't figure out why. Regardless, there are few if any just like that in the same or better condition.
Kak praviljno namotatj drosselj. It should be a treasured position by someone. Wow, FNG here and this just caught my eye. I have a comparable Single Six convertible from the same time period in excellent shape. Have both cylinders for it & it shoots great!
