1973 First Year Ruger Factory Engraved Single Six
I bought a 1973 Ruger Factory Engraved first year new model
Single Six. According to the estate sale only 13 were made. I am having a hard time authenticating it. Anyone know about this gun? I currently have it listed. Ruger confirmed its ship date but wants me to send them money to verify anything more.

If none of our folks can help. You might consider the collectors board on the Ruger forum.
That said, IMHO. To get the big bucks for your Single Six. A Ruger factory letter, authenticating it's rarity would be the best thing.0 -
"Estate sale" stated means nothing in the real world- Contacr Ruger and pony up imo The only way to have fact based engraving . 0 -
The Standard Catalog of Ruger will be no help on this one. Ruger letter is the answer. 0 -
Post some good pic's. If I thought I had a one of thirteen I'd be glad to invest in the factory letter. 0 -
I agree with all of the above.
If you believe it is truly 1 of 13 or so, pony up the cash for proof. Once it's proven, the value is there for a collector. No difference with Colt or Winchester when trying to authenticate a particular gun.
Best of luck,

Having looked, I do not believe that is factory original engraving. 0 -

I agree with Bill and He Dog. That isn't factory quality.0
