Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this single-action revolver today for a penny-start auction; this is the Ruger New Bearcat.
This example is a collectible Ruger New Bearcat ROCS Society Special Edition Shopkeeper, specifically serial number ROCS-00017. This "Shopkeeper" variant (Catalog: SBCBH-3-ROCS) features a high-polish blued finish, an unfluted cylinder with gold pinstriping, and faux-ivory birdshead grips, distinguishing it from the standard stainless steel model. As the 17th unit produced in this limited commemorative series, its low-digit serial number and the presence of the original matching factory case significantly elevate its desirability.
The catalog number SBCBH-3-ROCS designates a specialized Shopkeeper (S) Bearcat (B) with a Custom (C) Blued (B) finish and Birdshead (BH) grip frame, specifically commissioned for the Ruger Owners & Collectors Society.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
This Ruger New Bearcat ROCS Society Special Edition Shopkeeper represents a premium intersection of modern manufacturing and exclusive collector provenance. As serial number ROCS-00017, this unit is a "low-digit" specimen from a limited production run commissioned by the Ruger Owners & Collectors Society. Unlike the standard production Model 00920, this Shopkeeper variant (SBCBH-3-ROCS) features a shortened 3.5-inch barrel, a high-polish blued finish, and distinct gold-filled pinstriping on the unfluted cylinder. The aesthetic is completed by Ivorex birdshead grips, a design choice that references 19th-century "kit guns" while maintaining modern transfer-bar safety standards. The presence of the original matching-labeled factory case authenticates the piece as the 17th unit of this specific commemorative series. Low-digit ROCS firearms are highly sought after by members of the society and Ruger enthusiasts.
