7½" ​Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum Revolver – Circa 1973

Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum 7½" – Early Production | Circa 1973

Early New Model Production | 7½" Barrel | Ruger Wood Grips with Silver Medallions | Classic .44 Magnum Sixgun

OVERVIEW

Offered here is a classic Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, featuring a 7½-inch barrel, traditional Ruger wood grips with silver medallions, and Ruger's rugged single-action design.

Originally introduced in 1959, the Super Blackhawk was developed as a robust .44 Magnum revolver, incorporating a heavier frame and traditional Western styling. In 1973, Ruger introduced the New Model Super Blackhawk, incorporating its transfer-bar safety system while retaining the distinctive appearance and strength of the original design.

This particular revolver, serial number 81-08619, falls below Ruger's published starting serial number for 1974, making it consistent with the earliest New Model production period and potentially a first-year 1973 example. Its early serial number adds historical interest for collectors of vintage Ruger single-action revolvers.

Featuring the traditional 7½-inch barrel, adjustable rear sight, and attractive wood grips with silver Ruger medallions, this revolver retains the classic appearance associated with Ruger's legendary Super Blackhawk series.

A handsome early-production Ruger sixgun with appealing collector history and traditional .44 Magnum chambering.
