Item Description
Bryant Ridge Auction Company is pleased to present this once-in-a-lifetime set of single-action revolvers today for a penny-start auction; these are the New Model Blackhawks 50th Anniversary Matched Set!
Back in 2005, Ruger decided to keep a few of their .357 Anniversary models aside to combine them with the .44 Anniversary model, creating a unique offer. This was done for the very first time, and the resulting product was called the Matched Set. Each set contained two Anniversary revolvers, one .357 and one .44, both with matching serial numbers. The company started selling the Matched Set in December 2006, but only while supplies lasted. The sets were sold in a dark wood presentation case that had a glass top, a "Ruger Red" silk-screened logo, and a dark green padded liner, making it a perfect collector's item for gun enthusiasts. Ruger's decision to create the Matched Set was a significant event for gun collectors around the world, and the company's reputation for quality and innovation was further enhanced by this product.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. released an article on November 07, 2006, announcing a cased set of .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum "Flat Tops" with matching serial numbers. In 2005, Sturm, Ruger celebrated the 50th Anniversary of its first centerfire revolver, the legendary Ruger Blackhawk® in .357 Magnum, by announcing a 50th Anniversary model. Produced only in 2005, the original Blackhawk-size "Flat Top" frame featured an original "micro"-style click adjustable rear sight and a smaller pre-1962 "XR-3" grip frame with checkered "hard rubber" grips bearing original-style black Ruger medallions. This unique blued single-action revolver sported a 4-5/8-inch barrel and a special commemorative gold-colored rollmark.
The .357 Magnum 50th Anniversary New Model Blackhawk benefited from 50 years of continuous refinements, including a unique reverse-indexing pawl for easy loading and unloading, a new hammer spring to make cocking easier than ever, and of course, Sturm, Ruger's patented transfer bar ignition system. The year 2006 was the 50th anniversary of one of the most popular handgun cartridges ever produced: the venerable .44 Magnum. To commemorate this milestone, Ruger offered the 50th Anniversary .44 Magnum "Flat Top." The .44 has many of the same features as the .357 50th Anniversary model but with a 6-1/2" barrel and unique gold color-filled roll mark.
At the end of 2005, Ruger tucked away a number of the .357 Anniversary models to combine them with the .44 Anniversary model for a once-in-a-lifetime offer. For the first time ever, Sturm, Ruger made available a Matched Set of these two very popular revolvers. Each set had two Anniversary revolvers - a .357 and a .44 - with matching serial numbers. They were sold in a dark wood presentation case featuring a glass top, a "Ruger Red" silk-screened logo, and a dark green padded liner. The Matched Set was available beginning December 2006 and only while supplies lasted.
