Hi all,
My grandfather, who passed away last year, was a Ruger collector. I am helping sell his collection (what wasn't included in the will) at the request of my grandmother. My grandpa kept a pretty good inventory of what he had, so this description is straight from his notes: Ruger 3 Screw Blackhawk 7.5" Barrel, 45, Marked. Serial is 45-06291. In terms of markings, it is stamped 'X' on bottom of grip, and stamped 'Z' on bottom of the trigger guard. I don't currently have any pictures of it or I'd include some of those. Can anyone tell me about this gun and what its rough value might be? I believe it has the factory box, and has never been shot.
Another gun he has that we're trying to find info on is a Ruger Old Army RCA Collectors Series. Chambered in 45 Ball, serial is 145-87396. Also appears to never have been shot, not sure if we have the box or not but most of his collection does.
Thank you in advance for any insights you're able to provide!
