I know at the time the advertised price was $71.00 + tax at the store where Dad and I got it. I will never trade or exchange it for anything. It will however be passed to the subsequent generations for as long as it remains serviceable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32768818.post-62757277701932982312019-12-22T13:00:18.059-06:002019-12-22T13:00:18.059-06:00By the way, I can assure you, I paid a bit more th...By the way, I can assure you, I paid a bit more than 3x for this used one than what you paid for your new one.

I figured the manufacture date to be 1976 by way of checking Ruger's serialization on their website. While it did not give me info specific to the serial # on his gun, it did list the starting serial number for each year and by that it figures his was made in 1976. You'd think I'd have noticed if it said on hos what it says on your but sometimes my little gray cells are not as sharp as they should be. While I am pretty sure it does not say that, I will not rule it out until check. Still though, the serial # range given by Ruger indicates it was made in 76.Glenn Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16677859688487279914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32768818.post-57958337030668610262019-12-21T06:20:14.977-06:002019-12-21T06:20:14.977-06:00The Ruger Single Six Convertible was the first rea...The Ruger Single Six Convertible was the first really nice revolver that I ever bought. It was purchased in the summer of 1976 and cost the whopping price of $94. The thing that I think is really cool is that on the top of the barrel is stamped "Made in the 200th year of American Liberty." After all the handguns that I've acquired in the preceding decades in SA, DA and semi, the Single Six is still my favorite...........taminator013https://www.blogger.com/profile/02635084701986840255noreply@blogger.com
