I also filled out the request for the letter with a note asking for possible ship destination if possible. Puts it to early 1987, which would fit in with the last Academy class with these weapons. I gotta think Ruger would have a record of shipping a department order. As I said, NYPD ordered their guns from the manufacturer and the guns were shipped direct to the NYPD Equipment Section. Maybe if I mention I’m retired looking for a department gun they will dig a little deeper. I’m retired NYPD and have other NYPD guns, but not a blued Six.
Once they told me that my ROUND butt Police Service Six truly IS a factory original even though they "never made" the Service Six in round butt!Įach of those included a very nice letter. postmaster.Īnother time that a gun was returned by a gun writer and then shipped out for retail. I found out once a USPS Speed Six went to San Mateo, CA. Two or 3 times in recent years one of the girls there picked up the phone and CALLED me! I'd send the money and form with a polite letter asking if I you pay them for any additional work on their part that may uncover things like 1) is it NYPD 2) can you confirm where it was delivered 3) was it in service or an over-run sent to a distributor of retail sale, etc. I'd say you have nothing to lose but it is $10.00.
