*ENGRAVED EARLY RUGER SUPER BLACK HAWK SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER THAT WAS PRESENTED TO ELMER KEITH.

SN 1806. Cal. .44 Magnum. Blue finish with 7-1/2″ rnd bbl, ramp front sight & Micro adjustable rear sight. Cyl is unfluted with six chambers. Mounted with 2-pc pre-ban African ivory grips, smooth on the left side with raised carved “Elmer Keith” on right side which is a facsimile of Mr. Keith’s signature. Revolver is very tastefully engraved by Charles Jerred on factory order and was one of two engraved in Mr. Jerred’s “revised standard pattern” with light, strategically located foliate arabesque patterns and rosettes around each screw hole. Trigger, lock bolt & front trigger guard screw are engraved. Hammer screw is probably a replacement. Matching engraving patterns are at the top of the backstrap & heel, on buttstrap, trigger guard and bottom front of frame. The entire frame is outlined in fine gold wire as is the backstrap & buttstrap. Bbl has a silver band around the muzzle and a gold band at the frame, with matching gold band on ejector housing. Frame has silver wire inlay connecting into the gold wire on each side, back of the cyl opening and front edge. Top center of the bbl has a matching foliate arabesque pattern with gold & silver wire worked into the engraving patterns. Top strap is outlined in gold & silver wire. Cyl has a gold wire around the rear edge and a silver wire around front edge with small foliate arabesque patterns over the webs between the chambers which also has gold & silver wire inlaid in the patterns. Rear edge of the cyl has a very fine shaded scalloped pattern. This is a high polish, short frame revolver without eagle logo on bbl. The other Jerred engraved Super Blackhawk, SN 4806, remains in the factory collection. All together, a very beautiful & tastefully engraved revolver.
