Bisley New Model Super Blackhawk

[lumbering.buffalo]

Bought this some years ago. I looked up the serial number and it says shipped in 1990, but it didn't say anything about being a Bisley. The yellow box says it's a Bisley, but there is no serial number on the box so I don't know if it's original to the gun. S/N is 86-21xxx. Anyway to know if it's an original Bisley versus someone swapping grip frames? Thanks.

A Bisley of that vintage should have a roll marked cylinder reading Bisley Model. A pic would help greatly.

The best way to get a correct idea of how the gun shipped is to get a letter from Ruger Records. It'll cost $10. It will give you the exact model info, when it was mfged, when it was shipped, and where it was shipped to.

Looking at it a second time with the help of a flashlight it does say Bisley on the cylinder. I am becoming more comfortable that this is a Bisley Super Blackhawk. Thanks.

Model 00831 would have been a 7.5 inch blued 44 Bisley Super Blackhawk.
This started life the same, but now has a 5 1/2 inch barrel.
