A friend of mine had his house broken into mid day on June 14, 2006 in the Reading, PA area. One of the items stolen was his Ruger Blackhawk .357 with 4&5/8inch barrel, blue finish, walnut grips. The gun was manufactured in 1977. He is trying to locate the serial number. If anyone happens across a suspecious deal on a Ruger blackhawk in SE PA please contact me at buckchaser@verizon.net thanks.
