<font color="#cc3300">“HAPPINESS IS SPANISH ENGRAVED #5113”
DISPLAYED BY FRAN GIVEN
AWARDED FIRST PLACE NOVICE CLASS/font>
A one-gun display, Fran’s gun is an extremely rare Spanish engraved Single-Six, serial number 5113. When Bill Ruger contracted with Charles H. Jerred, Master Engraver, to engrave his Ruger Single-Sixes in the USA, this was the “pattern gun” that Bill selected and sent to him as an example to follow. A letter from Bill Ruger to Jerred was displayed that explained in detail what he wanted the work to look like and prices that he was willing to pay for the work. Fran also displayed a factory letter, copies of actual sales receipts, and an original advertisement for the engraved Single-Sixes. This gun was on display at the NRA Convention in 1989 as part of the RCA display and won a “group within a Group” award. A wonderful piece of early Ruger history! A great way to start displaying…winning 1st place in your class!!
