Alright, as some of you may know from my other threads, I have been looking for a nice single action with a birdshead gripframe

So, is this an "Old Model" Vaquero?
Or a "New Model"...

If I am correct, the "Old Model" was based on a bigger, stronger frame and can take the Ruger-only loads

And the "New Model" is based on a smaller frame...and while still strong, not as strong as the "Old Model"

Help me I.D. this gun please
