Since I retired, I have been fortunate enough to pick up several Rugers individually or in small collections. My quest for this year was to find a 2-digit serial numbered gun. Well, I got lucky earlier this year and was able to acquire the #70 collection. All my guns are handguns, no long guns. So far, I am up to 13 guns (mostly digit prefix) with 2 or more still coming. Below are the photos of my most prized gun, the SBH #70.
So, as you can imagine, I would like to know if there are other serial #70 guns out there, even if they are not for sale right now. I would love to find a Single Six, Bearcat or Blackhawk. I even heard rumors that there is an engraved number 70 somewhere!
The other big question I have is who had the subscription number 70 originally? Maybe the letters from Ruger will shine some light on that, I am still waiting to receive them.
So, if anyone has any knowledge that will help me to piece the history of these guns together or knows of some more handguns with serial number 70, I will be thrilled to learn more. Thanks
