And I occur with our esteemed colleagues Ernie and Preston. I do indeed.

Until bbman can reply, if I may, that looks to be a wonderful old .22 rimfire Single Six; a three-screw from the very early '60s if not mid-to-late '50s. Sure has that much-holstered look.
I have one of those and it too is a peach. The ultimate plinker. Accurate as well. Great whirlinpopper to compliment my 39A.
Notice the top strap on that Single Six and how it resembles the Peacemaker (but overlook the rear sight blade), unlike the Super Single Sixes (mostly convertibles) that have the New Frontier -style top strap and ears on either side of the rear sight to contain windage calibration when set to extreme elevation (distance).
The ears on the thicker top strap are also what differentiate the older, original Blackhawk "flat top" (no ears on each side of the rear sight location) from the later 3-screw Old Models. Too, the flat tops had a slightly smaller cylinder window than does the later Blackhawks. Same goes for the Vaquero/NewVaquero, with the latter being the smaller frame version.
blah blah blah
