1979 Ruger New Model Blackhawk safe queen in .357 Mag
 
1979 Ruger New Model Blackhawk in .357 Mag.  It is a safe queen in excellent condition.  The stainless finish is brighter than any of my other Rugers for some reason.  I assume a previous owner polished it. I cleaned, oiled, and waxed the grips at some point as well. There are very faint cylinder drag marks, and a couple other faint marks that can be seen in the pics. I have carried it some during hiking trips, but it appears to have lived primarily in a safe for the last 46+ years.
 
I would like to sell it outright, but I might consider a trade.  I'm having a hard time determining a fair value on it due to the suspension/discontinuation debacle; so I'm happy to entertain any serious discussion on price. I'd obviously like to get $1000.00+ for it, but I am open to offers. Is $850 ballpark fair to start a price/value discussion ?
 
As far as trades, I am interested in just about every type of firearm in some form or fashion; so feel free to make me an offer with whatever you may have in mind.  The worst I can say is no if I'm not interested in that specific thing at this point in time.
PM me if you'd like to call or text as well.
