Nice stuff and photos, Doc. What kind of hardware is on the SBH #135 case? Looks like the Nickel plated hardware version.

 

[Doc44]

The hardware is nickel plated.

8) Tough to keep 'em this nice for 50+ years , My congratulations. These make your pre and regular S&W 29's jealous, you must understand. And, it is justified.......... :wink: Mike

Hey SWEET.....I sure wish I had the talent to take such nice photos.....THANKS Doc......see ya RR.

Mike...Like I have been telling other collectors for years; I have the best of both worlds, collecting Ruger 44 Magnums and S&W 44 Magnums. Hard to beat that. I also throw in a Colt SAA in 44 Special every now and then.

I keep repeating this,, but it's hard NOT to covet such nice guns!

OK, just to keep these awesome Supers up near the top of the thread I'll do a "bump".

Here's s/n 158!!!

It came from the farm country of eastern South Dakota. The owner's name is crudely engraved on the "back strap". Case? It ain't got no stinking case......

PS It came with plastic pearls, too!

Not Really.

The Long Frame Super Blackhawks serial numbers range from #4 thru #3111 I believe. The Highest Long Frame I own is #2957 & Ruger1441 has #2971. The lowest Long Frame # I own is #9 & it shipped in a White Box. Serial #6 is a High Polished Standard Frame Mahogany Box.
