“Buckeye Special” New Model Blackhawk Single Action Revolver

serial #610-02260, 32 H&R Magnum/32-20 W.C.F, 6 1/2" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this revolver retain 98% original blue, showing only the odd handling mark with some areas toning lightly to plum. The smooth walnut grips with silver-on-black Ruger Eagle medallions remain excellent showing little if any wear. Timing and lockup remain sound and it retains the standard adjustable sights. In 1988, Ruger was approached by Buckeye Sports of Canton, OH with a desire to bring new and desirable configurations to market, and the result was roughly 5,000 units each in two different convertible chamberings; this is one such example, manufactured in the first year of production and bearing the signature “Buckeye Leaf” on the top strap which remains crisp and excellent. This Blackhawk remains in excellent overall condition and includes its original hinged yellow box and factory cardboard shipper, both correctly numbered and end-labeled to the gun, as well as the manual, paperwork, warranty and NRA membership card, period Wolfe Publishing Ruger voucher, and both convertible cylinders which remain in excellent condition and are both properly scratch numbered to the gun. The Buckeye Specials have long been lauded for their versatility and this nice example is sure to please the Ruger collector. P 17 19
