He told me to email Ruger to see if it shipped that way. I have lettered 4 S&W handguns @ $50 each, but Ruger does it free! The web site says they will answer in 5 working days & it took 3 weeks, but I am a satisfied customer. Oh, by the way, it DID ship in 1972 with a brass frame. I aquired it a few years later.

How detailed is the letter? My stainless Speed Six 4" was made in 1974, an early "pre barrel warning" model and has lots of holster wear (for a stainless gun) and I was curious if a Ruger letter could tell me if it was ordered by a LE agency.

I suppose if I asked who it shipped to, they may have included that info. As it was, they gave me the model #, month & year of manufacture, & stated 'shipped with a brass frame'. Not as cool as a Smith letter, but cheaper! Hey, give it a try. Please post back if they give you that info.
