An interesting old Ruger Super BH

Post by Chuck 100 yd »

I just finished this set of grips for a friends old Super BH. My friend Keith bought it new while in the Marines in Japan in the 60`s. He paid less than $70 for it when he bought it new and had it engraved by the Master of a Local engraving school. It had a pair of Asian Elephant Ivory`s on it that were badly shrunken due to improper aging before making them. They finally broke so I took them off and saved them to go along with the gun.
These grips are spalted Western Big Leaf Maple.
I would love to own this piece and would loose the scope real fast.

How much would it cost to replace it today???

There is a very early Blackhawk 44 where I bought My Colt yesterday, They are asking $1099. I asked what makes Them think that Ruger is worth as much as a Colt.
Love those Grips BTW.

Nice work on both parts...grips and the engraving. I bet the engraver spent some serious time on that deep engraving.--------6

Now that's a really special looking SBH!! Exceptionally nice job with the grips. Sets off the engraving fine. Really great work you did there, ...and I join you in your opinion about the scope.

Really pretty grips.

IF you were to get hold of that piece, I'd appreciate you losing the scope in my direction. :mrgreen: Looks like an old Redfield and I can always give a home to another...

Super Cool!!

It's really hard to find custom grips for the SBH! I've been looking for years.
Any chance of making another pair in black walnut?
:D

HA!

Single action grips are a cinch. Try finding grips for a Redhawk.

Those Maple grips are sure nice to look at. The engraving and the grips make for a beautiful pistol.
