Type 1 Single Six list

[Hawkeye28]

SN 28 lives here in the Woods..........It is in a half page photo in RUGER AND HIS GUNS. It was shipped to me as the holder of Subscription Holder of SN 28, as a trade for a RSS SN 14XX. SN 28 letters as a factory Prototyope in the Factory Colection with a series of letters from our Mentor, Mr Steven Vogel.

Additionally, in the mid 1980's, Mel Torme came to me asking if I had any information on his Colt Single Actions, which were among his entire gun collection taken and sold by his to-be ex wife in their divorce proceedings.( He noted that he thought she would take their house....! So much for assumptions, he added! ) I was displaying Rugers at that time and he did not mention the SN 11 and 12 guns.

This is a great thread - thanks, Hawkeye, for filling in the Mel Torme story. What a hoot! There must be other intetesting horse trading stories out there.
There are still lots of holes in the list. I'm wondering where SN 98 is.

Nice!
Steve, you sure do have some fine guns.
According to Ruger Pistols & Revolvers by John Dougan, the 26 and 27 guns were shipped as a consecutive set on December 29th 1953,
to John T Amber.

Any more T1 Flat Gate history from our "more experienced" members?
