A small straight is 4 in a row in Yahtzee....... :lol:

Fortunate to have received two LW Tri-Colors from Mr. Dougan today.
I had obtained the 200053 and 200054 in the last couple years. These two came from the now famous 2013 Corinth KY auction, part of the Don Black collection and were NIB with shippers.
Whilst talking to John on the phone a few weeks ago, I told him I had these two LW's.
He emailed me a few days later and said he had the 200051 and 200052 NIB with shippers and thought these four needed to be together :shock:
Well......they arrived today, along with their complete history....... plus!
Part of the Fred Davis collection, bought by Lee Newton, sold to Jeff Munnell, then John, and now me.

The pic is Fred & Mike Stewart NRA convention circa 1977 according to John.

Cheers,
Jay

Jay, Over my many years of collecting I have put together a few pairs of consecutive numbered Old Model Ruger! However you take the award for putting this quadruple set of 4 together!! All 4 appear to be NIB and all are double boxed. Your guns have some interesting provenance from several well known collectors. What a Christmas present you received.
Keep up the good work. Brass Frame/Lee E

Better keep a fire extinguisher on hand because your the one on fire now, ;) :mrgreen: .

Great set of consecutive LWT'S with impeccable provenance, what a display you will have with those.

What a great set and great story behind getting them. You have something that I think ANY Ruger collector would love to have. Great display right there without adding anything.
