The manual in the box has a copyright date of 1965 so that seemed about right for where I guessed it might be.

It appears to be a factory type stamping but is a heavier indentation than the numbers.

Your gun was probably made around 1968, a call to Ruger will give you a shipping date.

The Super Single-Six that has the same serial number that your gun has, minus the D was made in 1965.

Ruger has the policy of setting aside serial number blocks for different model guns.

They did the same thing with the Standard Autos and the MK-I.

They did he same thing with the Single-Six and the Light Weight Single-Sixs.

This was in 1968 and the factory forgot that in 1965 they had serial numbered Super Single Sixes in that range.

After they had serial numbered a few thousand, someone at the factory caught the mistake and had a D put on the serial number.

That is why your gun has the D stamped as part of the serial number.

The MK-I will have the small size serial numbers and the Standard Autos will have the large size serial numbers.

The 22LR cylinder is not scratched or stamped with the last 3 digits of the sn.

Yes, I found this older thread that had quite a bit of info about the 500xxx range of Single-Sixes.: It does appear to be a RSS5W with both cylinders.

If it comes back as RSS5W then it would be the first D RSS5W known in that range.

Please PM me if it does come out as RSS5W, as Ive been searching for the existance of that one for about 30 years now.

Up to a few hundred of the earliest guns in that duplicated 50xxxx range were shipped out without getting the D stamp and the two I know of are RSS5W, but so far no D marked RSS5W in that range.

So unfortunately the search for the elusive 5W in that range continues.

How could one not be happy with an OM Single-Six in decent shape.

Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
