Hello all,

Couple nice Speed Sixes on GB including a USDA - OIG, Military SS 32L, and a GS 32N.

PS - Also a Manuhrin MR88 38 Special...French gun that licensed Ruger Speed Six components including the Frame.

Best,

I am aware the ss32L is not listed in the bluebook, any members here have any idea of its value? Thanks.

Klugman, it depends on a few factors - condition, U.S. markings, documentation and Serial number. Here's a link to one on Gunbroker https://www.gunbroker.com/item/853135040
The price it's run to is pretty suprising to me.

Stringray I bid 1500 on that a few days ago. I heard a similar one sold for 3500.00. Google search does not find me any useful info on this particular model, other than not many of this one around. I do appreciate you responding. I just started buying sixes a few months ago.

Hello Klugman

I hope you have found more information on your search for a SS32L. I have provided some additional information below in the form of attachments. The SS32L a 2 3/4" .357 issued in 1981 was part of a pair (1 of 2) military pieces, the other being the SS84L a 4" .38 speed six. The revolvers are modified speed sixes, factory equipped with stainless steel trigger and hammer and government spec lanyard loop. They have a fixed site frame and round butt grip and nicely checkered walnut grip panels.
Based upon the Ruger Collectors Association who issued these Govt overruns from Ruger Corp there were a total of 125 pieces issued in each caliber in overruns available in CONUS.

With your interest in these military pieces with lanyards there is another set you will find interesting. Michael has a set of these awa several other ROCS and RCA members who post regularly here and can provide information. I will simply post the attachments on this set and let you read up on these. These were issued in 1984 and I believe I have an additional set.
