Blued Ruger Old Army 7.5” Barrel .457 Cal Cap & Ball Percussion Revolver

This revolver, made in the U.S. Bicentennial year of 1976, reflects Ruger’s commitment to quality and American craftsmanship. This revolver is in outstanding condition, retaining approximately 99% of its original blued finish with only faint handling marks and a thin turn line on the cylinder. The bore is pristine, showing sharp rifling and a bright surface with no signs of use beyond possible factory test firing—rating a perfect 10 out of 10. The checkered walnut grips with Ruger medallions are in excellent condition, showing no cracks, chips, or notable wear. Mechanically, the revolver is sound and functions correctly. It comes complete with its original red Ruger box, paperwork, and loading tool, further enhancing its value to collectors.

Whether you’re a black powder enthusiast, a Ruger collector, or simply seeking a historically inspired revolver with modern reliability, this 1976 Ruger Old Army offers the best of both worlds. Its strength, precision, and near-new condition make it ideal for either careful range use or preservation in a collection. These revolvers continue to gain in collector interest as they are no longer in production, and finding one in this condition with its original packaging is increasingly rare.
