Condition, condition, condition!

Ruger didn't make them with 6-1/2" barrels. Cut? Or, is it a 7-1/2"?

sorry it is a 7.5"

Here are a fe pics. I just kinda need a ballpark high or low Dollar amount. Thanks for your help. sorry about the poor cellphone pic quality

I agree that the pics are hard to use for grading,, but I see several worn spots to indicate it's a shooter. Plus the front sight looks like someone installed a red ramp insert,, so it's been modified as well.
All in all,, a shooter grade NM that in general will command around $350-$400 to someone looking for one.

In my area a very nice NM Super can be had for $350.00ish and a finish worn version, while they may ask that, can be had for less.

Looks like a bit of holster wear on the gun, and also the front sight has either been painted or modified. In my area I'd expect a New Model Super Blackhawk in that condition to retail in the 325 - 350 price range.

I could be wrong, but I think I'm seeing a 7.5" barrel. Have you measured it from the forcing cone to the muzzle?..................Dick :wink:

 

[bspitt]

You are correct pinecone...I orginaly posted 6.5" by mistake. I am thinging about making an offer on this SBH. I have not handled the gun yet and did not want to drive 3+ hours w/o having a ballpark figure. I have a SBH hunter and really don't need another..but if the price is right. guy is asking $350 for everything pictured (1/2 box of ammo)..sounds like he is not too far off...but I'll probably pass unless I can get it for a "real good" deal. If someone here is interested..lemmie know and I will provide you a link to sale.

Yes, the holster and ammo do add value.
Those Rubber Baby Buggy Bumper grips? Oh, my........ :roll:
