I have searched and cannot find that model number. I suspected it was the same engraved New Vaquero I had, but every google search results in a blank page.
Same here WAYNO ……

I can see plainly the model number on the fired casing envelope, but it sure does not match the model number of the same revolver owned by me.
Apparently different distributor, different batch, consecutive set... something caused a different number.
Anyway, to the OP question... all I know, is they were available for a while, and I bought one. It was extremely nice, but for a revolver that would live in my safe, it did not match any of my collection themes. I sold it.

I'm wondering if this gun came thru the RUGER CUSTOM SHOP, that was in existence for a while but I don't re-call when. But I think,,, ???,,, It might have been around this time period.
I re-call the RCS initial offerings were engraved guns.
This is a screenshot from the SN# Search. Not much more info than what is on the envelope other than the "System" does refer to it as a Vaquero -vs- New Vaquero.
With the "510" 3 dgt. Prefix and the "NEW" on the side of the cylinder frame (as pictured) it sure does not make sense. Even more confusing.
I think it is safe to call it a New Vaquero with the Hammer that is a New Vaquero spur.
Another RUGER Anomaly for sure.

From where?
Could the scratching be aftermarket?
Does end label on the box indicate anything other than KNV-45 or 455? Is there an “E” on the end?
And yeah, I noticed what G2 did about the "system" saying Vaquero.
I bought the matched set years ago brand new thinking they might be a collector thing but have never heard anything about them since. I've only taken them out of their box for pictures and only used gloves not sure why but that's been my thing. They came with a display box.

That label fills in the blanks.
KNV___ Stainless New Vaquero High Polish
455____ .45 Colt 5-1/2" Barrel
EC_____ Engraved, Consecutive Pair
That also explains the different model number. Buy one and it's a 5157. Buy a matched pair and it's a 5119.

That's them thank you so much for the information at least now I know somebody else has some. Wish it would have said how much they got out of them. I do appreciate everybody that took the time to look them up. Great group
FWIW ...
I sold my single in 2017 for $785. Add inflation and wow factor for a matched pair, and you should expect significantly more. You have a very nice set.

Ok, I went digging and somewhere in my stash I have the Brochure announcement of these guns, but I'll be, having a hard time locating it. You all might find this interesting fro November 2005.
What I originally called the RUGER Custom Shop was …
RUGER Studio of Art & Decoration
I don't think the Studio was around for long, but also found the announcement on the interweb.

Very nice set.
I would suggest you spend $20, and get the factory letters for each gun. That will give you a little more information. At $10 a letter for each gun you will get the model info, the date of manufacture, and the shipping date. Plus you will get the name of the FFL that they were shipped to.
