Collector Notes

Old Model Blackhawks remain among the most collectible production Ruger revolvers. Manufactured prior to 1973, these revolvers feature the original three-screw action and traditional lockwork preferred by many collectors.

The 4⅝-inch barrel configuration offers the classic "packing revolver" profile and balances exceptionally well in hand. Examples retaining their original finish and accompanied by factory packaging have become increasingly difficult to locate.

For collectors of vintage Rugers, early single-action revolvers, or classic American sporting arms, this is an attractive and desirable example.
