Black hawk three screw

[Nahanni]

any Ruger collectors who have any knowledge re Ruger pistols. I came up with a seemingly rare 3-screw Ruger Blackhawk in 45 Colt caliber a few years ago. Serial # 45-033##.
Manufactured in 1971.
The pistol has a steel dragon type trigger guard with a super blackhawk-type grip,but is not a Super Blackhawk as it says Blackhawk on the frame.
I wrote Ruger,but got zero help from them.any Ruger collectors who have any knowledge re Ruger pistols.

Probably a previous owner swapped out the grip frame and hammer. I swap out the hammers on my New Model Blackhawks for Supers everytime I get a new one.

There is a 99% chance it was done by a previous owner.

I've seen a couple for sale in past year a 45 and a brass 41 there were boxes with them both and correct me if I'm wrong but a b appeared in model number but I have never heard anything creditable that Ruger ever assembled any but super bh.

Both the 45 and 41, as well as the 357, 44 Super and the Old Army, were available with a 'Brass" frame. The model numbers for all of them contained a "B", examples: BKH44B, BKH45B, BKH34B,S47B, ect. But the "B" was never put on the box , only on the shipping carton can the 'B" be found in the model number. A factory letter for a "Brass" grip frame is mandatory.
A Steel Super Blackhawk grip frame can be put on any other Blackhawk, but almost impossible to get a factory letter to state it was shipped that way.
