Hello everyone (anyone?!) I was recently at the local gunshop and found a 2.5" barrel super redhawk in .480. The gun has a box but the label is very worn and I can't make out the original factory markings.

It seems to be an alaskan(ish) with a black almost cerakote looking finish with the ruger target grey cylinder. It has an outstanding fiber optic front sight that has to be factory.

That being said I am turning to my first gun forum for anyone who has seen a pistol like this. I have searched high and low for Lipsey's or talo special runs with no luck. I was originally going to order a super blackhawk with the 3.75" barrel and bisley grips, while the ejector rod issue is a little upsetting to me I gotta have that pistol. That being said this SRH threw a wrench in my plans. THis is my first post so any help is much appreciated!
