Closer view of the “S” on  Super #80-57650.  As you can see, these marks would really be easy to miss!!  From the Bill Eyring collection. 

This is one of only three Supers made with a 10” barrel.  Serial number 1505 is the only one known in a private collection.  From the Dave Whitman collection.

10” Super #1505 in its custom made mahogany box.  This box replicates the original mahogany boxes in every way except for it extended length to accommodate the longer barrel.  From the Dave Whitman collection.

Another picture of Super #1505 in its custom made replica mahogany box compared with another Super in an original shorter factory mahogany case.  From the Dave Whitman collection.

Another picture of the long barreled 10” Super.  This gun was made on special order for R. D. Shipley, a Montana rancher and hunting guide.   From the Dave Whitman collection.

This is a left side view of my Super #8449 that was hand engraved and gold inlaid by my friend, Master Engraver Ray Viramontez.  Ray engraved several special presentation Rugers for Bill Ruger and the Sturm, Ruger, & Co. factory.

This Super has served as my shooter for the last several years and has had a lot of rounds go down the tube. S/N #7458, shipped in May 1961, is a high polish gun that is perfectly timed and extremely accurate.

Not so good picture of my high polish shooter, Super #7458, along with a rare Ruger Flap holster made by Cathay, an early 1900’s GL&C knife passed down to me from a favorite uncle and box of Federal 240 Gr. JHP.  Definitely a sure “Tennessee Whitetail Formula” when I can do my end of the job!
