It is nothing more than incremental counting.has nothing to do with the year of issue. When 62-99999 was reached they changed the prefix to 63- (63-00000) and ran upward from there. In 1973 when the New Model Super Single-Six came out it started at 62-00001. Also, within a model family the same serial number prefix may be used to produce a variety of different models, all in the same block of serial numbers. There are occasions when blocks of serial numbers have been manufactured out of sequence, sometimes years later. Ruger does not produce firearms in serial number order. This is old but since it came up top of Google - For 1953 to 73 = Ruger Single Six Standard Serial Number History and 1973 - 2015 = Ruger New Model Single Six Serial Number History I found mine 62-130XX as the first year of the New Model Single Six in 1973. The serial number is 650-37129 and she is a blue w/case color, 4 5/8' barrel birds head w/ black grips. I still do not have possession of the little Vaqerito yet.but in the photos the 'star' actually looks like an 'X'.so it could be an asterisk.
