I'd be interested if you figure out a price.It's a 4 digit serial #. made in '56.I bought it new in 1974. It was in a "Mom & Pop" gun shop since new & never sold. I last shot it in 1978.Prob. had 10 rounds threw it.No children, time to sell. Thanks
Thanks for your time.I'm not in a rush.Over. $1500 wouldn't surprise me.
Also, others knowing more will chime in soon I'm sure. And, search Completed Auctions on Gun Broker.
Classified section here is free too when you decide on a price.
I do believe those are the Rosewood Contoured Grips. My understanding there was a shortage of Walnut at the time.Yeah, they don't look like the original grips to me either.
All that is required to avoid the turn line is to pull the hammer all the way back to full cock each and every time before letting it drop. Spinning the cylinder on half cock won't make the line because the cylinder stop is retracted. But pulling the trigger and letting the hammer go while between half and full cock will release the cylinder stop to rest on the cylinder between notches. and then turning the cylinder the rest of the way until the stop latches into the next notch is what causes the ring.The turn line.Totaly my doing. Showing to other people & spinning the cylinder.In my opinion,I don't think you have to shoot it very much to get that line.The detent pin & spring are there for a reason.
Your grips are factory original. They look like nice walnut to me, not rosewood.My 1956 and 1957 flat top Blackhawks has black "plastic" grips. Are these not factory?
Yep, they look like that.If your plastic/rubber grips look like these they are original.
