Help with obtaining a consecutive numbered Early auto.

Hello Everyone,

Update the list with quite a few more on March 26th, just hoping something might match!
I have been trying to put together or purchase a consecutive pair of Ruger Red Eagles in Standard or Mark 1, as well as any of the early automatics. The only way to find out if anyone could possibly help would be to list what I would like as far as SN are concerned. I am also searching for 1 each of the first thousand or so Red Eagles and am missing something in the 200's and 400's, not really fussy about the exact numbers for these as beggars can't be choosy! I have good references from quite a few ROCS folks if you would like to check out my buying history, and actually so you don't think I am a scammer! Not that it matters much, but I am not a flipper, my goal is to show these in a few shows each year and not ever miss the November Wannenmachers display show with the ROCS group, that is my drug. If you would care to contact me a direct message would work or my email at fmlimo@yahoo.com.
I know there are some concerns about posting serial numbers, but it is something I am not concerned about so here is what I have, and would like to make any of these a consecutive pair, or a matching number.....(Don't laugh, because of Dan and Laura I have a pair of these already!). I am not looking for a "special price" as I have always been willing to pay what an item is worth, and most would say I am willing to pay more than that! Here are the numbers I am trying to surround with whatever is out there:
13, 13X, 194, 294, 308, 347, 480, 516, 582, 590, 647, 2006, 2102, 2119, 2328, 2387, 2720, 2720, 2818, 2850, 3102, 3196, 3282,3372, 3518, 3635, 3650, 3824, 4133, 4919, 6139, 6234, 6521, 7497, 7564, 7609, 7855, 8157, 8247, 8597, 8700, 9205, 9279, 9291, 9433, 9478, 9934, 10003, 10005, 10205, 10488, 10776, 10832,10979, 11029, 11260, 11585, 11695, 11803, 12165, 12332, 12391, 12454, 12490, 12598, 12761, 13055, 13350, 13872, 15126, 15164, 15360, 15368, 15421, 15485,15720, 16284, 16290, 16571, 18103, 18293, 19013, 19529, 20262, 20614, 20681, 20837, 21237, 21443, 22047, 22748, 23179, 23882, 24213, 24784, 25020, 25614, 27203, 27727, 27889, 27983, 28317, 28236, 29184, 29416, 30248, 30307, 31221, 31625, 31859, 32920, 33307, 33561, 33851, 34056, 34573, 37936, 43460, 47567, 53039, 55039, 57525, 62081, 65580, 72420, 73896, 74719, 74988, 75283, 75295, 77240, 88206, 101901, 115527, 138896, 150038, 158525, 191608, 194303, 199715, D200001, D200006, 200006, D200039. Just a few more I would like to put together, Bearcat - 31, 555, 777, 15720,15721, and Spanish Engraved 5113. That's all folks. I hope this doesn't violate any rules of the road, that is not my intent. Thank you to all of the ROCS members and others that have helped me with all things Ruger over the last 2 to 3 years, it is and has been a blast! Ken W. is to blame for my search for a consecutive pair, please blame him for this round of Ruger illness. Sincerely, Bill

You have some really nice Red Eagles and early autos there for sure! Love the 3 digits, and of course serial #13 (17-00013 resides here). The 74719 Mark I Target 514 had caught my eye awhile back at auction because of the serial number was similar to my (same digits, different order) 😉.

I have five Red Eagles (two Type I, Type VIII, Type IX, and a Target) but unfortunately none are sequential to yours. I hope to find consecutive serials to mine as well and have posted serials to no avail. All you can do is put them out there. Every time I get one, it gives me two more chances 😉. Even different models with same serials (with or without prefix) would be great also.

I copied your serials and will keep an eye out. Good luck in your search! 🙂

Kenny I learned from the best (and paid for the education ) Dale Delbotten was a tough old cookie that found numbers like a magician....
I spent many hours in the "dungeon" / basement in Red Wing having cocktails and talking RUGERS....I sure miss those days......
The only time I got him in a deal was when I "accidently" stood on his oxygen line.... he asked for a rematch once he recovered :lol: :lol: :lol:
