Are you sure that's circassian?
Looks like fairly strait grained black walnut.
Does the forearm also have Boddington checkering?

Super Blackhawks have always generally been .44 Mag., but there are Hunter models in .41 and .45 that are also considered and marked Super Blackhawk.

.357's have not been called anything but Blackhawk (and Vaquero of course).
