This modern pistol does not attempt to copy a specific antique model but combines style elements from both Colt and Remington. It is a .44 caliber black powder muzzle loading percussion revolver. Both sides of the otherwise smooth cylinder show: “FOR BLACK POWDER ONLY.” The left side of the frame reads, “Ruger OLD ARMY (with the circled R copyright symbol).” An apparent serial number “145 – 74778,” is engraved on the right side of the frame. The Ruger phoenix crest is inlaid in each wooden grip on both sides near the frame. The top of the barrel bears the words, “BEFORE USING GUN – READ WARNINGS IN INSTRUCTION MANUAL AVAILABLE FREE FROM STURM RUGER & CO. INC. SOUTHPORT, CONN. U.S.A.”

 I inherited it from my father who inherited it from his aunt. She kept it loaded under her bed for years as protection from intruders. Above her bed hung a framed, embroidered sampler that read, “God Helps Those Who Help Themselves.” The manufacturer and date are unknown. The piece is 46.5” long, the end of the stock is 5” wide with a maximum width of 6” for packing/shipping. It weighs 7 lbs., 5oz. An engraving on the left side of the frame reads, “Wm PARKHURST.” The right hammer is missing its fastening screw. There is an engraving on the right side of the frame that reads, “Machine Made” which may help date the piece. There are also engraved images of a game bird and a retriever dog. There is intricate decorative carving on the wooden fore-end, grip and stock. The stock, in particular, features an elk’s head complete with antlers extending up the grip. The carved wooden stock is capped by a ribbed metal butt piece attached by two screws.
