Ruger Old Model Flat Top Blackhawk .44 Mag • 71/2" Barrel • Factory XR3 Ivory
Description:
Ruger Old Model Flat Top Blackhawk
.44 Magnum • 7½" Barrel • Factory XR3 Ivory Grips • Lettered
Offered for sale is a scarce Ruger Old Model Flat Top Blackhawk chambered in .44 Magnum, featuring the desirable 7½-inch barrel (catalog BKH47). This configuration is far less common than the standard 6½" Flat Top, with estimated production of approximately 1,500 examples.
This revolver is accompanied by a factory letter from Sturm, Ruger & Co., confirming original shipment in 1961. Importantly, this revolver has never received the Ruger safety conversion, retaining its correct Old Model lockwork.
Condition is excellent, conservatively rated at a strong 98%+, with a smooth, precise action exactly as these early Flat Tops should exhibit.
Extremely Rare Factory XR3 Ivory Grips
The true centerpiece of this offering is the set of genuine factory Ruger XR3 ivory grips. These are original Ruger-supplied ivories, correct for early Flat Top production and supplied by Ruger during the 1953–1957 period.
It is widely accepted among Ruger collectors that approximately 600 sets of factory ivory XR3 grips were produced. Many were damaged or destroyed during emblem installation, making intact, original examples especially scarce. These grips are correct, original, and unquestioned, and detailed photographs are included to clearly demonstrate authenticity.
Documented recent sales place correct factory XR3 ivory grips alone at $3,500+, making this a highly significant opportunity to acquire a legitimate factory set already mounted on a correct Old Model Flat Top.
Key Highlights
• Old Model Flat Top Blackhawk
• Chambered in .44 Magnum
• Scarce 7½" barrel (BKH47)
• Shipped in 1961 (factory letter included)
• Never converted — retains original lockwork
• Excellent 98%+ condition
• Extremely rare factory XR3 ivory grips
• Detailed grip photos included for verification
This is a museum-grade Ruger package combining a scarce Flat Top configuration with one of the most elusive factory grip options Ruger ever offered. Opportunities to acquire authenticated factory ivories on a correct Old Model revolver are increasingly rare.
Collector / Investment Note:
Factory Ruger XR3 ivory grips represent one of the most elusive factory options ever offered on Old Model revolvers, with production estimates of approximately 600 sets. Many were damaged during emblem installation, making intact originals increasingly scarce. As Ruger factory ivories have become virtually unobtainable through any other channel, values have shown consistent appreciation. When paired with a correct, lettered, unconverted Flat Top Blackhawk in high condition, these sets represent a blue-chip Ruger collectible with long-term desirability and strong downside protection.

Ruger Old Model Flat Top Blackhawk .44 Mag • 71/2" Barrel • Factory XR3 Ivory
Description: Ruger Old Model Flat Top Blackhawk .44 Magnum • 7½" Barrel • Factory XR3 Ivory Grips • Lettered Offered for sale is a scarce Ruger Old Model Flat Top Blackhawk chambered in .44 Magnum, featuring the desirable 7½-inch barrel (catalog BKH47). This configuration is far less common than the standard 6½" Flat Top, with estimated production of approximately 1,500 examples. This revolver is accompanied by a factory letter from Sturm, Ruger & Co., confirming original shipment in 1961. Importantly, this revolver has never received the Ruger safety conversion, retaining its correct Old Model lockwork. Condition is excellent, conservatively rated at a strong 98%+, with a smooth, precise action exactly as these early Flat Tops should exhibit. Extremely Rare Factory XR3 Ivory Grips The true centerpiece of this offering is the set of genuine factory Ruger XR3 ivory grips. These are original Ruger-supplied ivories, correct for early Flat Top production and supplied by Ruger during the 1953–1957 period. It is widely accepted among Ruger collectors that approximately 600 sets of factory ivory XR3 grips were produced. Many were damaged or destroyed during emblem installation, making intact, original examples especially scarce. These grips are correct, original, and unquestioned, and detailed photographs are included to clearly demonstrate authenticity. Documented recent sales place correct factory XR3 ivory grips alone at $3,500+, making this a highly significant opportunity to acquire a legitimate factory set already mounted on a correct Old Model Flat Top. Key Highlights • Old Model Flat Top Blackhawk • Chambered in .44 Magnum • Scarce 7½" barrel (BKH47) • Shipped in 1961 (factory letter included) • Never converted — retains original lockwork • Excellent 98%+ condition • Extremely rare factory XR3 ivory grips • Detailed grip photos included for verification This is a museum-grade Ruger package combining a scarce Flat Top configuration with one of the most elusive factory grip options Ruger ever offered.

Many were damaged or destroyed during emblem installation, making intact, original examples especially scarce. These grips are correct, original, and unquestioned, and detailed photographs are included to clearly demonstrate authenticity.
Documented recent sales place correct factory XR3 ivory grips alone at $3,500+, making this a highly significant opportunity to acquire a legitimate factory set already mounted on a correct Old Model Flat Top.
Key Highlights
• Old Model Flat Top Blackhawk
• Chambered in .44 Magnum
• Scarce 7½" barrel (BKH47)
• Shipped in 1961 (factory letter included)
• Never converted — retains original lockwork
• Excellent 98%+ condition
• Extremely rare factory XR3 ivory grips
• Detailed grip photos included for verification
This is a museum-grade Ruger package combining a scarce Flat Top configuration with one of the most elusive factory grip options Ruger ever offered. Opportunities to acquire authenticated factory ivories on a correct Old Model revolver are increasingly rare.
Collector / Investment Note:
Factory Ruger XR3 ivory grips represent one of the most elusive factory options ever offered on Old Model revolvers, with production estimates of approximately 600 sets. Many were damaged during emblem installation, making intact originals increasingly scarce. As Ruger factory ivories have become virtually unobtainable through any other channel, values have shown consistent appreciation. When paired with a correct, lettered, unconverted Flat Top Blackhawk in high condition, these sets represent a blue-chip Ruger collectible with long-term desirability and strong downside protection.

Ruger Old Model Flat Top Blackhawk .44 Mag • 71/2" Barrel • Factory XR3 Ivory
Description:
Ruger Old Model Flat Top Blackhawk
.44 Magnum • 7½" Barrel • Factory XR3 Ivory Grips • Lettered
Offered for sale is a scarce Ruger Old Model Flat Top Blackhawk chambered in .44 Magnum, featuring the desirable 7½-inch barrel (catalog BKH47). This configuration is far less common than the standard 6½" Flat Top, with estimated production of approximately 1,500 examples.
This revolver is accompanied by a factory letter from Sturm, Ruger & Co., confirming original shipment in 1961. Importantly, this revolver has never received the Ruger safety conversion, retaining its correct Old Model lockwork.
Condition is excellent, conservatively rated at a strong 98%+, with a smooth, precise action exactly as these early Flat Tops should exhibit.
Extremely Rare Factory XR3 Ivory Grips
The true centerpiece of this offering is the set of genuine factory Ruger XR3 ivory grips. These are original Ruger-supplied ivories, correct for early Flat Top production and supplied by Ruger during the 1953–1957 period.
It is widely accepted among Ruger collectors that approximately 600 sets of factory ivory XR3 grips were produced. Many were damaged or destroyed during emblem installation, making intact, original examples especially scarce. These grips are correct, original, and unquestioned, and detailed photographs are included to clearly demonstrate authenticity.
