You can find this in my latest book, Ruger Advertising.

I've seen several of these (Ruger .22 pistols) without a serial at all. Most were guns taken from the Factory by employees. Can't say on yours. It would not be in the Factory records.
You will probably never find the whole story. Good luck.

Photos might help solve this mystery.

Bob was a good friend. I remember his outstanding .357 display. He will be missed.

The tale of the shipping carton. Side of book wrap reads: RSSM--X (I'm assuming X for 2 cylinders) SINGLE--SIX .22 WMR--WALNUT (for walnut grip panels) Letter comes back "RSSM, no extra cylinder. Can't confirm grips. Shipped June 1959". I believe manufactured 59 & shipped in 60s. Double click image ...

A box surely rarer than a green wreath Lightweight box.

We have many valued members from Florida. Welcome to the RCA.

Every employee received a copy of this letter on the afternoon of July, 19 1991. After 42 years of firearms manufacture, by SR&Co., in Southport no guns produced at that plant after 7-19-91.
