I have a bit of gun envy over that SS Ruger Old Army BP! I had a blue one long ago, and a mix of other SAAs that also have come and gone. I really like the entire operating process for both BP and smokeless cartridge models. The additional handling time adds significantly to my enjoyment of them.
Not sure if I can be called a collector, but I sure do like them!
Here is the family minus one that I recently acquired. Come to think of it, that makes two unique Rugers done with custom gunsmith color case hardening from a distributor special batch that I have bought 'cause they are so pretty....maybe I am becoming a collector! LOL

And in the future you can: Go here and download this simple but useful photo editing program (VuePrint). Its quite simple to use and allows you to among many things, resize, and rotate photos (you need to save them after making your changes). I've been using it continuously since it cameke out like 20 years ago. Its simple, safe and effective.

It is a S&W New Model 3 in .44 Russian that left the factory September 30 1883 according to Smith and Wesson. IT was a grail gun and I still cannot believe I found one I could afford, in great condition for it's age.
