Looking good Jay, that's the definition of what you call rare.

Good call, it's been a while since I had that book out of the bookcase. After looking in Clayton's book it appears he used four of the six prints for reference in the Design and Mechanics section.

Never seen those before, so probably rare.

They were shipped to Kenosha, WI and I got them from Racine, WI, about 20 minutes from each other. It appears they been in the shipping tube since then.

Early No.1 factory cutaway prints #1

I recently picked up a set of 6 cutaway prints of the Ruger No.1. They are 11" × 16 1/2" and came in the original shipping tube postmarked December 1969. First ones of these I've seen. (See Early No.1 factory cutaway prints #2 for other pics)

Hate to hear of his passing, he was a fine fellow indeed and surely will be missed.

Re: looking for 1968-69 Ruger mug

This would be the one you're looking for, it was the 1969 employee Xmas gift. Good luck, they don't pop up for sale that often.

Re: FBI Academy 50th Anniversary Security-Six

I lucked up and found a patch to go with it, got it from Simon's neck of the woods over in the U.K.
