Blackhawk 3 screw value?

There is an old style 3 screw Blackhawk in 30 carbine with a yellow box available locally. Has ivory grips with separate wood ones and looks like an 8" barrel. Don't have sn. What is an approximate value, please?

The 30 carbine has a 7 1/2" bbl. If it is in good condition (98+%) with the box I would put it at about $550.
Not a lot of collectors value in the 30 carb. but a fun gun to shoot. If the grips are real ivory you could add up to another $500.00 for them.

Thanks OM.
Under the circumstances I would only go for it if it had collector value.

I don't know of anybody that collectors the BKH31, But a lot of us own one or two. Your pic of the gun looks good and you have the box and some paper work. (if it;s original) Not bad if you wish to add another Ruger to your stable.

Are they actually ivory? You can do some easy tests (if allowed) and if you look at/take some good pictures of the bottom of the grip that will also help. If you see a "grain" pattern that starts to narrow it down. If you heat a straight pin up red hot and try to push it into the backside of the grip that is another indicator (if it goes in easily, it is not ivory).

Hi Ron,
Thank you for the tips.
I suspect they are plastic and were added as the walnut grips in the box with the logo are probably original. The ivory description was mine, not the seller's, and I misspoke.
He also is offering some long guns and a 3-screw Blackhawk in .357 but will only sell bundles of two. This pair is priced at $1600 with 250 rds of .30 and a box of .357.
