.41 Blackhawk Serial# Question

[deserttrans]

Serial number is 41-011XX. It does not show up in the Ruger register on thier home page. Is this a transition gun? Your opinons are appreciated.

According to the RENE Reference, that's a first-year New Model gun, made in 1973 (numbers 41-00001 to 41-01844).

Don't know why Ruger left the 1973 guns off their website.

:)

Thanks Ale, I guess that should narrow it down.

Many of us around here know that the Ruger website isn't exactly correct in all their info.
