Manufactured in 1957. With wide base front serrated ramp front and Micro adjustable rear notch sights, flat top frame, type 2 ejector rod housing, type 2 ejector rod with round dished head, serrated blue hammer with polished sides, and aluminum alloy grip frame. The grip frame is anodized black, and the remaining components are blue. The loading gate is an attractive plum tint sometimes seen on early production Ruger revolvers. With checkered hard rubber grips with nickel and black Ruger medallions. With unnumbered factory box and papers.

Excellent overall. 98% plus original blue finish remains with a faint trace of edge wear at the muzzle and light rotation marks on the cylinder. The grips show only light handling marks. Mechanically excellent. Box is very good with some corner and edge wear, storage marks, and mild discoloration.
