Don, I sure hope all the Ruger docs you have posted end up in a published book someday.

Thank you RocDoc. I am working on that now. Right now, I have well over 1,000 images. Hope to have it finished by the November, Tulsa show.

Hey Don, do you know who did the drawing? Was it Triggs ? If I remember correctly, I believe that my old friend Ray Viramontez did the actual engraving and gold inlay work on the guns.

That drawing was done by Jim Triggs. He also did the engraving design pattern for the one millionth auto in 1979.

I hope to have a rough draft for Lee N. by September. I've asked him to write a review for the next Digest.
