Well actually I have three old guns.

Over thanksgiving I went hunting on my cousin's ranch. When it was time to go they gave me a garbage bag and said there was guns in it.
Get home find three rugers. Two Blackhawks 357/44 and the 22.

The Blackhawks were made in 1967 and I assume they are called three screws. Value?

The 22 was made in 1963. It came with original box and papers. Again value? Collectable?

I plan to test fire them then decide on what I am going to do with them.



Oh who am I kidding?  I'll keep them.

Wish I has cousins like that.

The 22lr should be a Mark 1, but there are a lot more experienced here than I am, and when I see them at pawn shops they are usually going around $150-$200, since the newer Mk II magazines don't work with them.

The two Blackhawks, if working and in good shape, should both run anywhere from 300-500, depending on your area.  I know a guy I work with who paid 450 each for a pair about 6 months ago.

The .22 if it has fixed sights which it appears to would be referred to as a Ruger standard auto. The early target versions were Mark 1, after that they used the mark 2/3/4 designations on both fixed and adjustable sight versions. I understand later version magazines can be used in the first series guns by reversing the position of the load assist button on the side of the magazine.

Are you sure the middle gun in the pic is .357?  Out has the unfluted cylinder and squared off Dragoon style trigger guard that is typical of .44 Mag Super Blackhawks.

Congrats,  btw.

General serial# by year here: https://www.ruger.com/service/productHistory.html

I spent the extra $10 per gun and Ruger mailed me certificates with the year and where the pistol shipped, plus the manuals. They're from my Pops, so I won't sell, but to know the history is awesome. If MY heirs sell, maybe they get more with certificates/manuals?

The middle one is the 44.

I took them to my lgs and the blackhawks are valued at 500 to 700 bucks. They are three screw guns with collector values.
The 22 is valued a 200.
