Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Price Check on 1969 Ruger Super Blackhawk

I got this old Blackhawk .44Mag. 4.5” barrel. It’s been painted or cerakoted black. It don’t look bad but it has a few defects. Don’t know much about the gun. Serial number check comes back 1969. Near old gun, shoots good. Not original finish and shows some wear. Be a super gun to carry to the woods and not worry about a scratch.

What’s a cash value or trade value?

Totally dependent on how much you think it's worth to buy a gun right now. "Fair" right now isn't what it was pre-election steal. Normal times...I'd say $200 tops. That's full retail at a high dollar show. It also assumes it works perfectly and has a decent bore.

I wouldn't want to be in it over $175 but it might bring $400 right now especially if you had a box of ammo to throw in and sweeten the deal.

Is that the correct cylinder for that gun

Appears to be correct.

As others have said, it has more value to a shooter than to a collector.

I get the impression somebody went through it and slicked it up. I see a non-standard base pin and the hammer has been jeweled, so I'd bet that it got an action job somewhere along the way. Has the barrel been Taylor throated?


Okie John

I sure hope not

If I actually wanted to sell it quickly versus sitting on it for a long time, I would put it up for 250-275. If you put it up for 400 it might take quite a long while, especially when ammo is hard to find.
