![]() If this were an Old Model Ruger Flattop, it wouldn't bring a couple of hundred bucks, at least to me. It supposedly remained there a year and then was returned with the admonition "it's a wall-hanger". The store had taken it to their smith for a visit and repair. The cylinder had a full ring around it like a New Model Ruger so it appears to be mis-timed a bit. Only 3 clicks and the full cock didn't hold - slipped back to click 2. The grips were old but not for this gun - at least a 1/2" too small. In the 338,xxx range if my memory is correct. The cylinder had the last few numbers of the serial number stamped on it and the frame serial number and the grip SN matched. The barrel had been worked on in an effort to remove the more hideous pitting and was a real mess - not a bit of lettering left. The finish was rough, lots of pitting and such. I ran across a +/-1920 model SAA in 32 WCF. I even have a decent comfort level with TLA's and such, but when Colt's pop up I am really in the dark.
