Does the old model Ruger Blackhawk have a red hawk on the emblem of the grip panels? Came across a well worn Blackhawk with black grips so equipped.[?]

    Picked up an old model Blackhawk convertible in 45ACP/45LC.
    The problem is that there is no 45LC cylinder with the gun. My question is if I buy a used 45LC cylinder will the timing and lockup function properly?

    Thanks

    Only the early Ruger 22 auto pistols had the red eagle logo on th left grip panel.This was from 1949 to about mid 1951. No other Ruger firearms ever had a red eagle logo.Starting in 1999 they started using a silver eagle logo with a red background.

    In 1999 the background would have been black not red
