Ruger Blanket Bag

[Brass Frame]

I have one like the one first pictured in the above description. However, one of my daughters grabbed it during our move to a new retirement home my wife and I recently built. She will not part with it because it reminds her of my interest in gun collecting? It is new and told by Mr. Dougan, it is very well made and quite durable! I found it at the Tulsa show many many years ago! Brass Frame/Lee

Thanks for all the info guys.
I now know that the pattern pictured in the brochure was made. My two are a different pattern.
The brochure mentions patterns may vary. Makes one wonder if there might be another one ?

Well I answered my own question. I went and dug out my second bag which I thought was the same....WRONG!

One more question for those of you who own one. Does your bag have a manufactures label? Neither of mine do.

I used to have one but a good friend of mine just had to have it and talked me out of it with a bunch of $$$s so it's gone, gone.

Back in my Ruger dqys and I was flying around the country my travel bag I took on the plane was one of these. While setting waiting to
board the plane I would get lots of comments on my bag. Two I remember were Dale Robertson and Jim Ed Brown. Each time we were
waiting to board and they asked about my bag. That lead to me working for Ruger and each of them owned Rugers. Both times we would
sit together on the Southwest plane. Dale and I remained friends and meet at each gun show in Tulsa.
I purchase one at employee price when they came out. Then a few years later Ruger closed them out to employes at a very good price.
They just didn't sell well due to the price. They were hand made which caused the price to be high. I put a few back , gave one to my son and one to my son in law, which I asked if he wanted to sell but he doesn't . I never checked to see where they were purchased and
do not remember what I paid for them. I have owned different patterns and do not know the story. I sold all of mine when I sold almost all of my memorabilia to a couple of prominent ROCS members.

Chad,
The one I'm looking for is pictured at the beginning of this post. It is probably the most colorful one they made.
The two I have are different patterns as I note your three are all different patterns.
Nice bags!!

I really like these bags. Maybe I’ll find one someday. I wonder if any two are exactly the same? Just differences in the way the material was cut prior to sewing the bag.

This one sold on eBay this morning, the listing didn't last long. Did any of you get it? Bennett
