RPM Enterprises: 25169 was once owned by Pat Welch. That one should be in the PA area.

Steve Ruger: I don't have a name beside 24458, so must have seen that in an advertisement somewhere.

Glassman: 25131 was owned by an old time collector by the name of Virg Otto. I probably took that note 30 years ago. and 25132 was owned by RF's own Hondo44.
I have the name Alan Welsheimer down by 24658, another old time Ruger collector from PA (another old note).

Ruger 1441: 25024 was owned by a former RENE member by the name of William Jefferson. Not sure if he's passed on now, or ??

Thre is a second ALLEGED 6 1/2" SBH listed on the GR site, but it's about 2500 beyond Chad's ref. text on this model. I so advised the GR owner, just for info........ :wink:

Danjet, that one's a .44 Flattop!





Edited to add . . . I mis-spoke, it DOES have a fluted cylinder and XR3 grip frame. See below.

Wow!! :shock: I admittedly missed a bunch here! Yes, it is a 6 1/2" FT with the correct fluted cylinder. Description is way off and I took some things for granted.......I dunno who is doing Scott Weber's descriptions. Having had a gun returned to him for description vs. reality issues, I wonder. At any rate, think i will fiollow this one closely. BTW, The other "real" 6 1/2 SBH on this site is very nice...... 8)
