I traded into this Ruger Old Model Blackhawk at the Tulsa show a month or so ago. It had already been customized by Dale Reichman from Wyoming. The gripframe had already been round butted but it had a set of factory grips fitted to it. The front sight had already been notched, like a #5 sight, and it had an action job.

While in Tulsa, I purchased an El Paso Saddlery fishscale 120 Threepersons lined holster for it.

I got it home and installed a Belt Mountain #5 base pin, a polished ERH to match the gripframe, a Clements old model Super Blackhawk hammer, and sent the gripframe to Zane Thompson of Lone Star Custom Grips for a set of stabilized giraffe bone grips.

I think it came out pretty well. It should a fun little packin' gun.
