They're both nice guns.

#1. Old Model Single Six with a 6 1/2" barrel and fixed sights. Not converted, but maybe wearing Pachmayr grips. Not beaten to death, but has bluing wear. It also includes a holster of some kind. Okay, this gun is all original, even including the original grips. The only drawback to this one is that it sat in its Bianchi #1 Small SA holster for about 20 years and that caused some pitting on the side of the cylinder and receiver. It is still a nice looking revolver and one that I will be carrying and shooting.

#2. New Model Blackhawk, 45 Colt with a 7 1/2" barrel. This one has Pachmayr grips, and again some bluing wear. I think this one also has a holster and some ammo but I don't know how much. This one turned out to be a transitional model gun, since it has the OM style cylinder and an older style gripframe in it. The gripframe is stamped NXR3-RED. I have a pair of factory grips to go with this gun that I bought from Doc O'Meara a few years ago, so it's already back to original. This one also came with a plain but nice Lawrence 1C 601 holster and 3 1/2 boxes of factory ammo.

I'm happy with this deal. Sunday has historically been a good day for me for buying guns.
