stainless frame, blued barrel, blackhawk?
« on: February 15, 2008, 02:34:49 PM »
A friend of mine bought up a gun collection. He has a super blackhawk  44 mag that I am interested in.

It has a stainless frame with blued barrel and cylinder. Its supposed to be factory and he thought it was some special edition but didnt know what it was worth.

Can anyone tell me anything regaurding this blackhawk, and what the value would be? Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks Jessy

ruger only made one two toned gun that im aware of. It was a 32 mag with the drift ajs. rear sight with a stainless bisley grip frame and the rest blued. Id bet a million bucks your buddys gun was put together by the previous owner like that.

Thanks for the information, I assume its probably not worth any more than an all blued or stainless model.

  I agree, it's NOT a factory configuration and it's resale value would be less than a standard configured one as opposed to this franken-hawk.

At United Sporting Arms, way back when, we made the combo with Stainless High Polished Backstrap and Barrel and  it was called the "Silver Seville". Very  nice looking gun. The combo was also used with slight deviation on the Tombstone and World Fast Draw Commemorative. Also they are a little rarer and can be priced higher then a straight Blue Seville.
