When you said this, it lead me to believe you didn't know that it in fact did happen:
rockledr said:It was in this article that stated Ruger was bringing back the 44 magnum Vaquero and the birds head was the first. MAYBE SOMEONE KNOWS IF THAT IS IN FACT HAPPENING...

Also you originally said "Vaqueros" instead of "New Vaqueros" here:
rockledr said:I didn't know they were issued that late. It would be nice to know how many were out there. I have a pair of the Talo special large frame VAQUERO bids head and they have a serial of 59-003xx.
They are also consecutive. I reason that what is good for one hand is good for both.

So I initially said that 59 prefix 'Vaqueros' are late issue. But the 59 prefix 44 Mag 'New Vaqueros' (I agree) are in a state of early issue (recently issued early 2016) for them.
Wow!! I really screwed that up. I am the one who owes an apology to you. So sorry for the confusion brain and hands were not talking I guess. Thanks for not getting upset with me. I will proofread better next time.
Again sorry for the confusion.
Greg
