Been wanting one of these for quite a while and found one locally. Probably paid to much for a local gun at $850, but what the heck.
It came with a box, manual, the two cylinders and an extra set of grips (Ajax polymer "ivory"). I think the installed grips are not the original, though. Should have oiled walnut I think, instead of the polished rosewood (I think that's what these are). Also the red velvet bag for the spare cylinder is not present.
I've seen this question asked before, but have not seen a solid answer. Do the Buckeye guns have a better polish and deeper blue than standard Blackhawks of the same period? To me it seems better...more like my late 3-screw SBH.
Oh...here's the other 38-40s the Ruger is joining...
