Ruger Single-Six ''Flatgate'' Revolver with Carved Ivory Grips
serial #5261, 22 LR, 5 1/2" barrel with a bright excellent bore. This second-year-of-production Type-3 ''flatgate'' revolver retains about 97% original blue with areas toning to a mix of plum and brown under direct light, some mild high edge silvering, a few scattered light nicks and handling marks, and a light abrasion on the backstrap throughout. It retains the standard serrated front sight and drift-adjustable square-notch rear and timing and lockup remain excellent, and the Type 3 serrated ejector rod button; this example has not been equipped with Ruger's transfer bar safety upgrade. It has been equipped with a lovely pair of genuine ivory XR3-pattern grips by an unknown maker, bearing a handsome carving of a bison on the right panel with the left panel remaining smooth, rating excellent overall and showing minimal handling wear throughout with some handsome checking along the bases and the main apology being a chip on the heel of the left panel exposing a hint of the frame. The interior of the right panel is etched ''XR3'' over ''5261'', and overall fit is excellent. A lovely 1950's vintage gun with stylish accoutrement to match. (26A11608-263) {C&R} [N.R.A.
