I purchased an old Model single six from a old family friend last week. Unfortunately he passed away a few days later. I have learned a lot from this site in the last day. I have decided, I will not send it to Ruger for the safety upgrade, based on info I have learned from here.
Any help to determine the age and value would be appreciated. This is the conversion model. I have box, but no literature inside, The 22 mag cylinder has the red bag and the box it was packed in, the blue is better then 98%, catalog # is RSSM, 6 1/2" barrel, SN # is 467###. I spoke with Ruger a few days ago because I was considering sending it in for upgrade. The gentleman on the phone informed me it was made in early 1963 and is a super single six. I told him it didn't have adjustable sites and he said it was beginning stage of Super.
If anyone has any information, please share your thoughts.
Thank you
