Last year I asked in a thread if anyone collected Ruger revolvers as collectables like they do S&W and Colt. Well, I was in a LGS the other day and saw what I would consider my first collectable Ruger. It was an old ('65-'66) Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 magnum.

It was a long barreled gun (not sure how long) and was listed as having the box with it. I was surprised at how nice the finish was. There was a small turn line on the cylinder, but the bluing was pretty darn nice. It was refreshing to see a finish other than the utilitarian finish they use on the GP100. Price was $999.
