Value of 1959 Ruger Single Six?

[dirtyd]

Was bidding Ruger single 6 in an online estate auction and won unexpectedly. They hadn't posted the serial so I figured it was not all that old.

Turns out it's a 1959 mfg so gen one and has the original "unconverted" parts as well as the conversion kit with all the paperwork etc and the wood display case. Looks unfired. Any ideas on value?

I'll get better photos this week.

Is that an original Ruger case?

Don't know yet. Waiting on arrival at LGS. I've heard they had an option at the time for a nicer wooden box, can't confirm yet tho.

That's my plan!

Value? Go to Gunbroker and search completed sales. Nevertheless, it appears nice and you bid what you bid, correct?

I'd say it's worth what you paid for it. Or you wouldn't have bought it, right?

Nah. It's worth a lot more than I paid for it. They just didn't represent it well in the auction.

I don't buy auction guns to pay what they're worth.

Shoot it until the adjusted value reflects your purchase price.

Well then you must know what you think you are doing then, so why ask us. Must be bragging or fishing.

Or, both.

Because I'm looking for a realistic valuation not jackass responses. But it's a forum so there's always a few of you guys on everyone of them.
