My 50 year old Blackhawk rig

[Armybrat]

Bought them both new in 1968 (San Antonio Leather):

Very nice!!

 

[contender]

Nice.
Do I detect the fact that the gun has been returned for the safety transfer bar?

1968, The nagging question is..... does the belt still fit? :wink:

Nice looking rig.

No, you don't :wink:
Gun is all original as it left the factory in 1968 - minus a bit of finish on the grip frame:

Great looking gun and rig. Doesn't look like you've used it much given the age of both. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice looking rig 'armybrat' ,,,,I too see the "shadow" on the side of the hammer (right side) in your top, first picture and thought like 'contender' that was the "cutout " of the safety updated hammer............
the gun looks in great shape....we like it :wink:

Nope, hasn't for decades.
The pistol is mostly zipped up in a suede leather gun rug.

That's a beauty but it needs to go out & stretch it's legs! If it was up here in Idaho I'd warm that barrel up next to my OM shorty. Tyrone knows what I'm talking about, Ground Squirrels!
