Ruger Vaquero® in .45 Colt

               

We are auctioning off a Ruger Vaquero® in .45 Colt. Ruger's records reflect this revolver was roll marked January 28, 1999. This revolver was a sales sample and was shipped to EM Corp. in New Britain, CT in September 1999 for a test coating that was ultimately not adopted for production. The revolver was never sold and has never been fired beyond normal testing during manufacture. This revolver is equipped with a rounded blade front sight and fixed integral notch rear sight. Other features include a 7-1/2 inch barrel, and a 6-round 45 Colt cylinder. It has a traditional western-style, hand-filling grip with wood grip panels featuring silver and black Ruger Eagle medallions inserted in the panels. "RUGER VAQUERO® .45 CAL." is stamped on the left side of the cylinder frame. This Ruger Vaquero revolver has been stored in a brown, hinged cardboard box along with an appropriate instruction manual and locking device.
