Here's my SDA-384 N.I.B. Service-Six S/N 159-95794 - Non-Scalloped Recoil Shield, No Barrel Warning and No Lanyard Ring. Only one I've seen without the Lanyard ring, and I wonder what is the earliest one they chambered in .380 RIM, like you noted the majority of the ones seen are in higher serial number range.

And here's RDA-36 S/N 150-48832 & RDA-34 SN 150-08109

Bennett,
Your doing just fine! Nice pictures, really like your gun props! never seen those before.
As we have discussed, I would like to see what has been reported between your gun and #154-2066, Blocks 155- thru 158- ?
By posting & sharing we might draw some info on those blocks out.
I did manage to pick up an old white box for a RDA-32 with #150-42740 on it, in fair shape for its age, missing the insert & no paper work.
Thanks for sharing.
Good Hunting!
Terry

The beautiful red background in Bennett's pictures is a pool table where he takes pity on dumb Yankees (me) and plays 9 ball while I stand there with a cue watching him sink balls. Seriously you all have some great D/A Rugers and it is a pleasure seeing them.

Beautiful

Im starting to have a new appreciation for the these.

Carl,
We thank you!
I take it that playing pool with him, would be akin to playing Minnesota Fats!
Loved Gleason & Newman in the Hustler.

Oh, I never took money from anyone (ok, maybe a little). I've always considered pool a staple in my life like guns, I'm just grateful that I can enjoy these things in my everyday life. I have to admit that the pool table comes in handy when I'm figuring out a display.
Thanks for starting these threads Terry, the double-actions need some love.
