It was made in 1954 and is one of the most durable 22 rimfire revolvers made. What else do you want to know about it?

We were unable to locate anything on the internet about the serial number 1060, all we could find were 6 digit serial numbers. Do you know a way we could find out about the sn 1060? I would also like to send you a pic. I'm new to this forum and don't know how to add a pic?0 -

Check with the folks on the Ruger Forum, they have at least one specific board that deals with all sorts of collectable Rugers. More then likely a Single Six with a serial number of 1060 would fall ito that category. To have any appreciable collectors value it would have to be factory original, and in at least Very Good cosmetic condition.
The original Single Six's were sold as inexpensive utility/plinking handguns. Most of the older one's like yours are found in well used condition, i.e. they been rode hard and put away wet. If yours is like this, not likely it would have any great collectors value.0 -
We would like to e-mail a pic of the Sturm Ruger, unable to post to forum. Could someone post an e-mail address that I could send pics to. We would like to show that this gun is in almost mint condition. The difference we have found from our gun is that it has a black handle instead of a wooden handle. Thanks in advance for all the responses.

Countryfarmer is correct.
If you want to know more contact Ruger by the instructions at:

Ruger grips in the early days were black plastic, they only went to walnut later. Your gun is perfectly ordinary and standard for the time.0 -
LenAnn,
Welcome to the Gunbroker forums!
I'm surprised at how uninspired our members are tonight. Sending you off to another forum for help is not our standard practice.
Here is the link to the instructions for posting photographs in your thread.

I have pictures to post from LenAnn.
From what I can see in the pictures this is a type 1 flatgate, date of manufacture 1954. Hard to tell from the pictures but I would say 95% + condition.
Has the very nice Plum/Purple cylinder frame, possibly with "lighting strikes" through it, also does not have the "-" hyphen/dash between the words "Single" and "Six". Of all the "Ruger Single-Six" revolvers made, only the first 1,985 were roll marked with NO DASH/HYPHEN between Single and Six. Very desirable.
Has the correct type 1 short throw ejector rod housing and type 1 ejector rod serrated thumb-piece.
Has correct Black grips with the skinny neck black eagle medallions and dull foil background.
Has not been converted, still has the original lock work.
Can not see in the picture, but as stated above, it would have the correct barrel address of "Strum Ruger & CO. Southport, CONN. USA"
Very nice example of a type 1 flatgate. I have an old price guide from 2007 that puts a value of $1,055 on this model. I would put a value some what north of that because of the nice cylinder frame.

nice gun but that price estimate is far too high. You will be serve very well on the ruger forum 0 -
LenAnn,
Hello, and welcome to the forums here on Gunbroker.com.
You are in the right place...the heck with the Ruger forum[:D].
If it were to have the original box and papers, that would get you around $700.00 maximum, in todays economy. It is a very nice example though.
