Very odd Ruger Single Six Need help!

Risk the $10 at least you will know the truth
By the way Colt gets $100 for the same service.

It would be worth $10 to have the certificate. You'd get more value than that out of the certificate if you ever decided to resell it.

Try sticking a magnet to it. That will tell you real quick if it is stainless or not.

How? Magnets stick to all my stainless guns, some stainless alloys, like the various 400 grades used in gun making, will attract and hold a magnet.

Called Ruger earlier today and spoke with a very nice lady in customer service. I told her I was looking for information on a handgun I acquired and gave her the serial number. She laughed and said that's it?! I said yes it's an old one. She said it's a Ruger Single Six made in 1953. I asked if she could give me any specifics on it and was told to send an inquiry form in and it would cost $10 for a certificate of authenticity. So +1 to Ruger for great customer service!

I am debating on whether or not to send in for the certificate...what are your thoughts?

$10? Absolutely, that's cheap compared to what Colt wants. Let us know what you find out.
