Ruger Super Blackhawk Mag-Na-Port MK V Limited Edition Single Action Revolver, #81-72937, .44 mag. cal., 5'' magna-ported barrel; satin nickel backstrap, triggerguard and ejector rod housing; non-fluted cylinder, machine-turned and factory tuned hammer and trigger, factory adjustable rear sight, red ramp front sight, with Ruger smoky gray pearlite grips, as well as original walnut grips, in mahogany case with period Magna-Port patch. Mfg'd in 1976. Top of barrel marked ''Made in the 200th Year of American Liberty''. Considered quite scarce and only sold in 1976. An article in the June 1976 Guns magazine states that only 200 were mfg'd and were only advertised by mailing flyers to dealers describing the gun. According to this article, approx. 45 of the last guns received for modification for magna-port were roll marked with the 200th Anniversary statement. A copy of this article and others are included. Condition is excellent showing only the lightest use, possibly only from handling, with a very thin index mark to cylinder. An outstanding example of a near perfect collaboration between manufacturer and custom service house. Est.: $2,500-$3,500. (C&R)
