Ruger Now Offers Engraved Grade 1 New Vaqueros® as Standard Items
November 02, 2005
Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is pleased to announce that it now offers New Vaquero single-action revolvers engraved by the Ruger Studio of Art & DecorationSM as standard items.

Now fans of "Old West" guns can have a beautifully engraved Ruger New Vaquero single-action revolver at the very reasonable price of $1,000, or $1,950 for a consecutive serially numbered engraved pair, which includes the price of the stainless steel Ruger New Vaqueros with black checkered 'hard rubber' grips or simulated ivory grips.

Unlike firearms with plating or etched faux engraving that barely marks the surface, these New Ruger Vaqueros feature genuine engraving cut into the surface of the revolver's cylinder, cylinder frame, barrel, and grip frame. The skilled artisans of the Ruger Studio of Art & Decoration take a standard engraving pattern and hand-cut and finish the engraving to an exquisite degree.

For those who wish to create one-of-a-kind firearms, the Ruger Studio of Art & Decoration offers additional embellishment and personalization to any desired degree, at an additional charge. Contact the Ruger Studio at 203-259-7843 for details.
