Ruger Old Army Blackpowder Pistol – .45 Cal – MFG 1977 – Cap & Ball – C
This is a no reserve penny auction for a Ruger Old Army revolver in .45 Cal. Serial number – 140-32873. Manufactured in 1977. This revolver is in good condition (some handling marks present due to use) with an excellent bore! The Ruger Old Army revolver is unusual in that, unlike most percussion revolvers on the market, it was not based on a historical design, but was a modification of Ruger's Blackhawk model, which was itself based upon the cartridge-firing Colt Peacemaker. The Old Army revolver accordingly incorporates many modern design features, though employing antiquated black-powder component loading.
