I believe that one way to be sure it originally had two cylinders is that it would be stamped '.22 cal' (as opposed to .'22 LR' etc.) on the frame. At least that holds true for my Old Model 3 screw SS's
and speaking of Old Model 3 screw Single Sixes there's one big caveat about going the Ruger route: if you send it to Ruger - as far as I know, they will automatically install a transfer bar safety "upgrade" to the trigger mechanism and they will keep the parts you'd need to undo what they've done.
From what I gather - the result is a trigger that is nowhere near as nice as the original trigger on the Old Model.
Of course, with the "upgrade" you can carry the gun safely with all six chambers loaded - but I'd rather carry with the hammer down on an empty chamber and keep the original trigger intact...it's pretty sweet.
If the gun is a New Model 2 screw - and came with two cylinders originally - then definitely go the Ruger route.
