Were they ever produced? I have seen pictures of a few on the net, but I starting to think they were custom.

I've been watching for them for quite some time, but have never actually seen one. The only Bisley New Vaqueros I've come across are in 357 with a 5-1/2" barrel.

Welcome to the Forum!
RBNV-44,,, (blue Bisley New Model Vaquero with color case finish) in 4-5/8" bbl, serial number range of 57-21745 to 58-55369. The stainless version, serial number range of; 57-13485 to 58-96012.

So to answer your question, yes they were made. Notice that these are the 2 digit prefixed guns, meaning they are the same frame size as the normal Blackhawks.
I couldn't find a reference immediately about the New Vaquero, (smaller main frame,) being made in the Bisley style. I'd have to dig a little more to find out.

Found an original frame stainless version on gunbroker, but that's likely a custom job:
