Single 6 tri-color NDIH SN 203159 with the Flatgate

[golferboy426]

this belongs to a friend of mine who had no idea what he had. His wife listed it poorly. I did call him. He's on his way to Tulsa. It already has a bid. I 'd hate to see him give it away because of a poor description. I'm no expert but I think it's right except the grips. She has it listed as stainless Anyway here is the link https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/1012563441

I'm a friend , he is a dealer in a second career after retiring as a corrections officer. He knows colts and air guns nothing about Ruger. Usually he calls me.. This time he didn't (the bum LOL)

 

[hittman]

Yeah it's really a shame they didn't reach out to you or even list it here for ZERO GunBroker fees!
And man oh man it looks like a NICE one too.

sadly, photos shows its been converted....photo #20. listed as stainless frame, they have no idea what there talking about. its aluminum. hard to be a LW with a stainless steel frame. above average condition. I wish them luck. FNC

Wonder if the original parts are included ?

 

[Johnnu2]

I'm sure a knowledgeable collector will grab that one at a fair price....

Looks like someone spray painted it.

 

[golferboy426]

not likely... it is in the correct serial range for a lightweight.. He's in Louisville at a show. I may be able to get my hands on it Monday

What is the gold and silver part of the finish???

I have a minty set of early parts to convert back if anyone here buys it.

BTW..........where did that $2000 price of Doug Sheldon's book on the 38 Super come from...........?

 

[BULL'S-EYE]

My experience with Colt collectors is that the plurality have far more money than sense.

Nice RSS5 they have for sale. Opening bid $400 with box, etc.

 

[protoolman]

I saw that too... At least she learned her lesson (or got spanked) with a reasonanle start bid compared to the tri-color

 

[hittman]

Well the tri color is at $856 with 2 days left and it needs grips and OM conversion parts so …. Maybe not too bad for the seller.

 

[HAWKEYE#28]

"They" are fighting it out......At $1300 now............still a fair price......seems to me, but then, some live here already............Love those grips..........Wonder if the cylinder was chipped by the conversion kit installed cylinder's bolt stop? Well, the dog was tied up at $1400. Gives us a benchmark of sorts........
