Saw the post with the consecutive s/n guns so I thought I'd show a couple of mine. These were bought about a year apart at a gun show (Harrisburg, PA) when I first started showing my Six series revolvers (still a newbie Ruger collector/displayer). I actually bought 3, 2 one year and another the next year. Then while refurbishing them, I noticed the consecutive numbers. Sold the one and kept the consecutives. Here's before and after I did the work.
