Ruger Collectors' Association Show 2004Page 1Page 2Page 3Page 4
"RUGER 357s" by Bob CampbellThis display included thirty Old Model .357 Magnum Blackhawks, both "Flattops" and "protected sight" guns. It is probably the most complete collection of Ruger 357s known! Three of the six known "S" marked .357s are included, as well as high polish examples, and all the transition guns. The display included box examples, instructions, etc. With this many fine old Rugers, Bob has to have a construction crew that travels with him to set up and tear down this great display!!
