85 Bisley artwork and advertisement evolution
Shown here are some original drawings with text and edits from the Sturm Ruger advertising department. The result of this is the finished Bisley Single-Six ad dated 1985 and shown in the last photograph. I thought that they were worth sharing but apologize for the quality. The drawings are larger than my scanner. The goal is to frame them all together and display.

Thanks, Gunman! You were quick on the draw with that reply. Here is the whole advertisement pamphlet front to back.
