Revolver ID

I would like help to know what I have here. I have been wanting a dual cylinder Ruger for some time now.
I was able to pick this one up with the 45 colt and 45 acp cylinder. I really feel good about it and can't wait to shoot it.
I looked in the new blue book of gun values and couldn't find it listed. It is a New Model Blackhawk. What is the estimated value (not that I am selling) and are the grips original?
What year made? Why didn't Ruger engrave both cylinders? Thanks!!!

You can check here : http://www.rugerforum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=73513 for how to get a ball park of when made.... Also if the fired case envelope is in the box, it should have a date on when it was successfully test fired. Looks recent as the warning label appears to be rolled under the barrel and not on the side. My guess it is a Lipsey gun or other special run of Stainless Ruger Bisely convertibles. Acusport? Shoot and enjoy .

Approx value is $550 or probably less and those are the factory grips. Enjoy.

That one is a distributor exclusive made for Williams Shooters Supply. They have the same gun available without the extra cylinder also. Nice looking gun!

Thanks for the answers!

Nice set up. I like the idea of hte second cylinder having a fluted construction. I have a old model Vaquero with two cylinders .45 colt/.45 ACP.

My Acusport has only one cylinder:
