Ruger Old Army 44 cal revolver

[Abasmajor]

Nice looking gun. Interested to see the cylinder has a very different appearance to mine - like the stripey effect. Is that a special model of some kind?

The stripes to the cylinder side were applied by the gunsmith who added them to further identify the gun as a nitro conversion. It obviously also has nitro proof marks and the stamped name of the converter (Falcon Gun Company) who kicked off these conversions just after the breech loading pistol ban in 1997.
