Ok,,, all done!
I'll let each displayer tell about their display.

I had 2 displays. One was a set of "Ruger Patches, Pins, & Decals." As far as I know,,, I have all the factory issued, publicly available patches, as well as a few special or rare ones. These included a prototype patch, the Fire Brigade patch, and even Bill Ruger's pocket patch/badge. It was his trade show name badge. I also included some of the many counterfeit patches so folks could see the "differences." In the pins,,, I have most of the ones I know of,,, and all of the SHOT Show & NRA show pins. In the decals,,, I have all the known factory decals,,, unless there are/were any prototypes I haven't found yet.

My second display was a tribute to several things. It was titled; "Ruger & Troop 605 Celebrate History."
As a lifelong BSA Scout & Scouter,,, with over 45 years in my original Troop, I wanted to highlight how Ruger recognized the BSA with their 100th anniversary 10/22. In 2010, the BSA celebrated it's 100th birthday. Ruger introduced a special 10/22, with a special laser engraved stock, and a special serial numbering. The guns started with BSA-00001 & went up. Well, my home Troop is number 605. This display had BSA-00605. I also included items from the beginnings of the BSA up to the 100th celebration. I included may items from my Troop, which is currently in it's 69th continuous year. To me it was a celebration of the BSA, and my home Troop, which,,, has only had 3 Scoutmasters in it's 69 year history.

Many Thanks to you Tyrone. We had 5 first time ever displayers and there were some great ones. One Novice displayer has already told me he is signed up to display in Tulsa! This is very important to ROCS, that we grow the interest in our
Rugers! Stay tuned, the show write up and more pictures are coming soon to the ROCS website. OGCA provided much
promotion and a wonderful facility for us, with an invitation to come back next year in July. Brass Frame/Lee
