Charlie, in the link that you posted it says that this was a 6 gun consecutive SN run.

JAY; I agree on the Gunbroker links its aggravating when you want to reach out and ask about a particular item that sold conversely the privacy as a buyer is comforting. As Chuck mentioned earlier they are consecutively numbered and now we know they originated from the same source and approximate time period. I think you could contact the gentleman that runs the web page link I sent and he may be able to help locate them if you wanted to find the owners. It would be nice to have a pair of consecutive serial numbers. Its not necessarily finding a needle in a haystack as it would be for a general production run. But a pair of consecutive serial numbers from a six gun run would be 1/3rd of the market, lol,,,,,,,,

You have an awesome 10-22 Jay....

Just wanted to share what came in the mail today.
The original buyer of the GB 10-22 that I got it from promised a COA from Ruger.
I kind of jumped in between him & Ruger and ended up emailing with Elaine Sandberg
AKA "Auction Annie 22" . She seems to have been in charge of Rugers charity auctions
on Gun Broker. She remembered this lot of 6 Green Beret guns sold in 2012 and
told me she would get me a new letter of authenticity.
WOW. Did she come through for me!
It came in a package marked "DO NOT BEND" and is printed on very nice thick paper
suitable to be framed. AND...hand signed in blue ink by CEO Christopher T. Killoy.
She told me that is why it took over a month to get to me, waiting on his signature.
My first Ruger letter.......
Cheers,
JAY

That is a great letter of provenance!
Thanks for sharing.

Now, that's a letter!!!!! Congratulations on being able to pair it with the rifle. Truly a treasure to hold.

Jay with that letter it really increases the value. I am happy you have it. I would have to dig deep in the Watertender treasure trove to even make an offer. I am thinking a 1954 Studebaker hood ornament, a deck of "dirty pitcher" playing cards, a set of loaded dice, a Navy watch cap & ONE catseye marble in your choice of colors.
Seriously you have something very rare that is unique. With the few that were made it is a find of monumental proportions.
