Llama Ruby .22cal (copy of S & W hand ejector?)

seb1999

I cannot find this revolver in the current Blue Book. The finish is flawless, turn line (ever so faint) does not show up in photos and the box is sn to the revolver although the paper hinge is torn and the manual is there.

Could someone help me with a valuation?

The LLama revolvers sold with the Ruby name were imported and sold by Stoeger in the 50's/60's time frame. Never are commonly found because the price Stoger sold them at, was only marginally less then the basic Models of S & W & Colt of the same time frame.

Their Trade Name was later changed to Comanche. Which is probably the most found and commonly known of the Llama made revolvers.

NIB with manual would be very uncommonly found, the only draw-back being it's a LLama. Which aren't highly regarded or see much collector demand.

Oddball .22 is a niche market. There are those out there that would pay a fair amount for such a rare piece. Finding them would be issue. Along w/determining a selling price. In VG condition, in box, I'd likely list it at auction for $300. and see what happens.

Did you ever list this gun? A Ruby .22 was the first gun I ever fired. Been kinda looking for one for nostalgic reasons

Thanks for your interest. I have not decided to sell it but I am not a 'revolver guy' so I will let you know if I list it here.
