Super Blackhawk in a wood box? PICS up ....

Nice standard frame Super. Pm me the serial number if you want and we can see if it matches up.

Nice one.

A reward worth the patience! Very nice!

Excellent job. Very nice gun and box.

Oh my...

:shock:

This old gun can come live in the 'Cross Roads of the West" with the rest of it's kin! Nice old Gun! J/S

I know that is was mentioned before but never, never store the Super in the box. The red lining as a tendency to draw in water. Many a Super has a thin line of rust where it was stored in the wood box. Steve his number did not line up with any of mine. I will call you with the number so you can check yours

As you can tell from the pics, this gun was stored in the box. However, I landed it before there is rust or pitting. There's a thin line on the left side of the barrel that you can't feel but the blueing is "stained" (looks milky or wet) if that makes sense. And of course there's a few of the same on the area where the cylinder touched the felt as well.

I've finally had time today to look this gun over good.

It has Micro on the rear site, Eagle on the barrel, no "Inc", brass hardware on the box, no "C" on the grips. Anything else I should be looking for or that's important to know?

I appreciate everyone's help and interest on this. Thanks.

Excellent!

Didn't somebody day mid 1960 earlier ? Nice call.

Nice gun and box set. I'd drive 2 hours extra for that one too.

Hittman,
Congratulations on a tough-to-find combination of an early SBH w/mahogany box (!).

I have an early one, too (s.n. 20××). But, no box came with it. I'll try to not be too envious! Ha!

Thanks for sharing the story of your good fortune!

Thanks Tip ...... nice pics of your excellent very early example! Love the nicely figured grips that seems fairly normal back in those days.

Thank you, as well!
Yes, I think the early grips were aesthetically finer than later examples. Your S47 is a perfect example of that!
