It is an Old Model Ruger .357. Bored out to .44 Special. #5 grip frame, Bisley hammer, Octogan barrel, black powder chamfer on the cylinder, custom base pin, crescent ejector rod, steel ejector rod housing, bowen rear sight, action job and an empty wallet.

The grip frame came from Powers, the barrel blank from I do not remember. Everything else and all of the fitting and custom work done by Alan Harton. Case hardening done by a Texan near Alan's shop.

This was about 4 years of accumulating parts while it was at Hartons so the price was spread out. Thankfully.

This is my heritage gun, never to be sold and to be passed down to my son someday.

I'll get some more pics later today.

Then I will post the heritage gun that I will pass down to my daughter if she wants it. If not, my son gets it
