Anyone looking for a Bicentennial Blackhawk 41 mag???

I was hanging at Genesis Firearms and saw this. They have a 41 Bisley as well.

I've got a question. Was the white fill-in of the markings from the factory? The reason I ask is, my Bicentennial Single Six has the white but my Bicentennial 357 doesn't & looks like it never has. Both of them came from one of the Tulsa gun shows, Wannamaker or Metcalf back in the mid 2000s. Maybe one from each I just don't remember. I do know it wasn't both at the same time, I had a one gun per show limit at that time.

Pretty sure it was gold filled

back then there was a product by Bonanza, and they offered different colors of 'fill". any of these can be easily removed with acetone ( fingernail polish remover and a stiff bristle brush)....some of us like it , as to 'highlight" notable rollmarkings.......

so to answer your question, it is NOT factory but done aftermarket.......

Here's the used Ruger shelf.

Nice guns,, but as noted by Dan,, any fill in color is NOT factory.

Pretty sure the Pearl Grips aren't either. Both stupid easy to remedy.

What trouble? Investing in precious metals?

I saw a Bicentennial .357 at a local show last weekend… no box though. I already have an unfired .357/9mm convertible from 1980 so I passed.

This kinda grabbed my attention.

Nice Ruger selection...What I can't believe is, current used gun prices!..

That Bicentennial is cheaper than the most basic new one.
