It looks like someone swapped grip frames and hammers. You have a medium size Blackhawk cylinder frame with a Super Blackhawk grip frame and Super BH wide spur hammer. Trigger looks to be original Blackhawk.

That does appear to be an Super Blackhawk frame, my guess is a previous owner swapped out the frame. Still a very nice SA, congrats on the addition.

I can't tell from the photos...does the grip frame have a narrow or wide trigger slot?

More than likely the frame and hammer were add to the gun by a previous owner. But I have heard of a .357 that lettered as being shipped in that configuration. You need to invest $10.00 and write the factory. You can get a form and address off the Ruger web site.
