Nice find! Ruger produced just shy of 15,000 completed guns and/or serialized frame before they quit shipping. They then "scrapped" around 5000 of them. Yours was probably produced in early 1983. The serial number guide on the Ruger site is kinda off. I will say that your serial number is "not...

Looking to trade for or buy outright.......if you have it and even don't want to part with it drop me a PM.....thanks for looking, Jack

Still not a bad deal.......been quite a while since I have seen one under 1100..........

My point is without "Maximum" being in the description some people are just going to pass even looking at the pics.....

If someone is looking for a decent shooter, this may be it.......they have it listed as a Super Blackhawk, .357 caliber.......no mention of a Maximum....alot of people won't even recognize it by the serial number....I do think 28% buyers premium is pretty harsh......

10455 real close to the end........probably produced in February or March of 1983.......curious to see what it goes for........

I had six of them......all went to auction in 2016

We have heard the stories......."my neighbors cousin sent his in and got a new Super"........."LGS said one of his customers sent a Max in and got a check for full MSRP"..........well, I'm kind of a doubting Thomas........I do know it happened, though not "officially" but if someone out there...

Thank you all!

The "house" or "arrow" marked single cylinder guns were designated as Model SSR. They are marked in the same location as the "star" marked models. There were two production runs of these models for approximately 4 months in 1986. One would assume that Ruger dropped the Mag cylinder to be price...

Ya done good........

Looking for parts, units for parts or complete units. Really need the little slotted piece that attaches to the handle linkage and screws into the base....drop me a PM, thanks, Jack.

I have still seen some used ones go for 895.........few and far between.........I'd start at 9.........and just like anything, supply and demand, as much as 1300.......saw a couple in the last month or so go for close to 1400 on GB.....just my two cents.......it is amazing that back in the mid...

I thought about this.....a lot.........back in 1983-1984.......Maximums were going for 3-350 NIB.......bought a couple low, 2 digit guns for 5.......I wonder if that could be why I have so many now? I always said the Max was going to be the next Hawkeye........But, above all else I really like...

My best bet an employee got the gun originally......then sold it. But, I will tell you as an old model collector your best friend was a china marking pencil......that's what the serial numbers were marked with.
