I love all the DA's!
I am fortunate to also have a factory Super Redhawk 44 Mag 5" that is very similar to your custom. It also happens to sit next to my Tolkat in the safe.
Keep shooting with reckless abandon and happy shooting!

It is the real deal…a small number of guns were shipped with the wrong engraving. I was fortunate enough to find one and add it to my DA collection. No idea of qty but I believe Ruger pulled most of them before they hit the market.
WMG,
I checked the safe and looked at my US guns. I do have a SDA-84G. It is roll marked Service Six with US stamp and the SN is exactly as you describe above (wide gap so there is space for the lanyard). The SN is in the range and the silver protective sleeve is dated Aug. 76.
Fantastic for a DA collector. I have a couple US stamped guns in my collection including a SS84L. The SN is slightly higher than WMG but no box/papers. Actually had a line on the consecutive gun but the owner passed it to his son…which I can appreciate
WMG,
Going to send you a PM.
I have seen the paper ones but they do not pop-up very often. They occasionally show up on EBay. Let me know if you find someone that does the custom work b/c I may be interest in one as well.
Thanks and Happy Holidays all!
