I've seen your gun on here several times. Like most of your stuff, it's a perfect example of a real working gun. I had one that looked identical. As you are aware, the Super Blackhawk, for many years, I'd say until the mid-eighties, wasn't available in anything but the configuration yours started out as, the 7 1/2" barreled, unfluted cylindered blued model. In the mid-eighties, I bought a Blackhawk in 45 Colt with the production 4 5/8" barrel. Somebody had taken the aluminum grip frame off and replaced it with a Super Blackhawk's. So it looked just like yours except for a fluted cylinder, but it was a 45 Colt and IIRC, it also had the 45 ACP cylinder. I believe it was the fifth single action I owned.
