Very nice - are those grips from the local guy you've been using? The frame coloring looks better than most - has it been redone?
I can answer on the color case since I know the origin of the gun. It was bought with a multi gun estate that included several very collectible Rugers and S&W's that the deceased bought new and stored away. The best example was a 4-digit Ruger No. 1 in 25-06 that was in the original box (early '70's).
It was not recolored. My bet is that it was handpicked for the vibrant colors. I have seen a few other Bisley Vaqueros with pretty coloring and they were probably from the same era. Scott's 4-3/4" 44 Mag Bisley Vaquero is a rare gun.
