3 Screw With a History

[19-2]

I have an old model which I have owned for more years than I can remember. The old 3 screw 357 mag comes with a history. Ruger searched back threw some ATF files and found that in or around 1958 this gun was used in a killing in a Boston court house. Back then un like today the guns were not destroyed, but were given a new ATF s/n.The gun has a finish on it now that is called blue ice (tupperware coating). This by no means is a safe queen as I was told it has no more value than a regular Ruger of the same kind maybe less. I shoot it all the time. Just wanted to share something I don't think you come across every day.

I am suprised with that history it doesn't have greater value. Very interesting. Thanks.

Didn't Ruger change to the protected rear sight around 1962 on the Blackhawk? In 1958 or so they would have been flat tops.
