Old Rugers

I hope that this gun is old enough to qualify, seeing as how it's 44 this year.

It's a low serial # Security Six made in 1972, the first year of production, that I found practically hidden under a bunch of Model 10s, 15s, and 19s that were all in significantly worse aesthetic and mechanical condition. The thing I appreciate most about it isn't its perfect timing and lockup (even tighter than my new 642...), its pristine bore and forcing cone, or its lack of a cylinder drag line or flame-cutting on the top strap; rather, what I appreciate most is that it doesn't have that stupid wall-of-text about the instruction manual plastered across the left side of its barrel.
