Super Blackhawk serial #

[Running Elk]

Hello, I have a Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 Magnum with the serial # 80-42542, when I look it up on the Ruger site, the numbers begin with 81, I’m confused as to when this piece was made, any help would be greatly appreciated

They were 80- 1969 to 1973.
Your number is there. Look further down the page, open the box for guns made before 2000.
RENE is a much better resource. Info about that is in the Auction Links / Recurring Deals Section I think.

Welcome to the forum.
