Flattop serial number 186, 1 of 2

[marty]

I’m new to the Ruger Collectors Association, I’m a gun collector but not a collector of Rugers. I’m brought here through an interesting purchase that I just recently made at an Estate Sale and I figured if there’s anybody that knows something about this pistol, he’s surely a member of the Ruger Collectors Association. The pistol is a Ruger Flattop serial number 186 which appears to have never been fired except at the factory. It’s in superb condition with virtually no handling marks and I would rate it at 99%. It’s chambered in .44 Magnum, has a 6-1/2” barrel, a pair of original Ruger ivory grips with Ruger black falcon emblems, and the pistol is fully engraved. The engraving was well executed and signed by Grover T. Polsgrove. The pistol came with no box or other accouterments. Any information that you members are willing to share will be much appreciated. Thanks, Marty
