Consigned Model 58 ?

I think the OP's pic shows PC magnas, look carefully at the rear, bottom corner of the stocks, you can see the curve. At least I can. Those would be correct for a pre-1968 gun

I agree that they look like correct PC Magnas. Those N-frame diamond PC's had a very subtle edge profile, not at all like the K-frames and later (non-diamond) N-frame PC Magnas.
As for value, $1500 would seem more reasonable if it included the original box, paperwork & tools, but for the bare gun it seems a bit high in relation to current gun prices.

The S# Brad gave me was over the phone, he did not mention a prefix/
, and it's been there a few months.

Time to make a deal.

In 2019 I paid $1300 for mine. It is a S prefix and by the serial number, a first year of production. I fell back on my belief you never overpay, you just pay too early.

For myself, it always comes down to how much I want it, and am comfortable with the price. I have been told more than once (usually by my dad) I spent too much, but the time to buy is when you have it in hand.

I hope you find this helpful.

I would gladly pay $1300 for a first year production Model 58. They are hard to find and would keep my first year production 57's company. Maybe you can have your dad call me to work out a deal?

This one sold on GB last night. Serial number S2594xx, one single bidder, hammer price of $800.00.

Wow One happy guy this morning. Never own a 41 mag in any configuration, always went for the 44s. I did shoot one of these and considered it for law enforcement carry, but opted for the stainless model 65 instead. Always regretted that decision.

Among 41 caliber handguns, the Ruger Blackhawk, 4 5/8 inch, is is lightweight and about the best balanced carry in the woods handgun they make. When compared to my 4 inch 29, the Ruger has a little less power, but carried and shoots very well. I just have to wonder how this one would do for that sidearm carried up around 10,000 feet/?

This one wakes up my interest--again.

I don't have any photos of my model 58. It is one of two I had. Both were blue. I kept a like new in box example with the N serial prefix and sold my S serial numbered gun to one of my best friend's, dirt cheap. I do have a photo of my .41 magnum Blackhawk.

$1500 seems like a scalper's price. The seller hopes someone somewhere will want it badly enough to pay the price, but isn't that true of most ads on GB and GI?

I paid $250 ( 1980 ) for my used model 58 ... the factory PC grips and Tyler T-Grip are put away for safe keeping and the Ahrends Retro Combat's , in Rosewood, are for shooting ...
Take into consideration inflation .... $750 - $800 sounds more in line ... if $900 doesn't get it ... think long and hard about going any higher !

To me ... $800 sounds about right for where I live .

it's an N prefix N 271308 circa 1976, I don't know it has original grips OR ?
The dude is not interested, allowing a quick look to see.
Even my Friend, the LGS owner though his negitive reply, was somewhat rude.
May even have return to factory marking stamped under that grip scale.

I've moved on

I agree- they are PCs.
