Yes, Buckeye Sports in Ohio from around 1989 if it was factory. As mentioned it would have been a convertible.

It’s a $1400-$1600 as it sits currently based on closed Gunbroker transactions. This was a run of 500 that is/was popular enough for values to increase. They were around $900 when new on the market and have the TBB prefix serial number. These were distributed by TALO. Turnbull just did the...

I would guess Holly wood. I think I can see some mildew on the backside and that is possible if the backs were not sealed.

Looks like powder residue from the barrel ports.

Lipsey’s archives shows 255 being produced. I recall 2 small runs of approx. 125 rifles. You can print off a certificate from this website after you select the correct model. Scroll down to model 11365. https://lipseysguns.com/lipseys-exclusives-certificates-2/

2-3 thousand lower from what I know.

Not sure if you are a member of Rimfirecentral forum but someone over there has a want-to-buy post for a SP101 in 327mag in the classified section over there. You may want to check over there for a potential sale. I don’t know the guy, just passing info along

Well, this was from yesterday. $850 plus 15% buyer premium. I suppose being online bidding someone may have thought it had both cylinders but I would have also said $700-$750 with one cylinder...

That Blackhawk appears to be a “Ross” variation based on the serial number and the front sight from what I can tell. If so, it has had the grips and trigger replaced and maybe the gripframe. The black hard rubber grips would be correct for the gun as well as the square ejector rod button . If it...

Yes, I looked too and it only gave a serial number range. You can assume they are scarce. I have seen more standard blued 41 RedHawks than than the ones with integral rings. My guess would be only a few thousand made.

Ruger Customer Service has limited information as you have found on that far back when you call them. Most New Models they can tell you what you need to know but for older models it must be looked up by the person in the Records dept. The barrel length is one thing they have to physically look...

Pretty nice setup and shooting Gunny. Some RF members were asking about you recently on another thread. It is good to see you posting again.

Here is one coming up at auction in a couple of weeks. https://ctfirearmsauction.hibid.com/catalog/311123/october-2021-online-only-firearms-auction/?q=Kimber

Those 7.5” Bisleys have not been cataloged for a few years now. The 41 has been gone 20 years or longer. The last model Ruger cataloged was the 45 colt around 2017-18. The later ones will have the laminate grips.
