Below is a pic of my Ruger Blackhawk chambered in .41 magnum. It was handed down to me by my father and still functions flawlessly. I just recently called Ruger's records department and found out this particular pistol was manufactured in February of 1965, which was the first year this line was made (according to Ruger's website, that is).
While talking to Ruger, I was told they could transfer me to someone that could help determine it's value, but I didn't bother. This isn't something I'm getting rid of. In a phrase...not even from my cold dead hands.
It has some blemishes, such as a few scratches, but is otherwise unharmed. It was taken very good care of before I got it, and I'm doing my best to continue that trend.
The photo links to the my flickr account where there is a larger pic you can look at.
Just thought I'd share.
