Thanks for the compliments DGW. Although all 3 are nice revolvers, I couldn't help but think that maybe the S&W got so much love because I took the photos (of course, it deserves some love). so I took the other 2 outside and photographed them. Here are the pics.
Colt SAA 45 colt 2nd gen 1967
Ruger Blackhawk 357 magnum 3 screw "flat top" 1958 (unconverted)
My brother is happy with it
The loading gate turned color as sometimes older guns do. I've heard many explanations for this phenomenon, one being that the the nickel content was higher. I don't know for sure why it happened here.
