Excellent Ruger Hawkeye Single Shot Pistol serial #447, 256 Winchester Magnum, 8 1/2” barrel with a bright excellent bore. This was a short-lived model with only about 3,037 units shipped in a two-year period making them scarce and desirable. This lovely 1963-manufactured Variation 5 Hawkey appears as new and retains wonderful condition. The metal surfaces retain about 99% original blue and anodized finishes. The smooth walnut factory grips feature black Ruger Phoenix medallions and rate excellent. This gun features a serrated ramp front sight, factory aluminum adjustable rear sight, spring loaded breech block detent, steel ejector rod housing, it is factory drilled and tapped for optics, and appears to function mechanically. This beautiful gun includes the original red and black factory two-piece box that is correctly end labeled and numbered to the gun, manual, and paperwork. The box and accessories rate excellent. This is about as fine a Hawkeye as you will find. It would be a wonderful acquisition for the advance collector.
