KBNV 404 - 40 S&W Ruger New Model Blackhawks

[1411]

Good morning all,
I just picked up 3 consecutive KBNV 404s. I believe they are left over from the San Diego PD commemorative pistols due to the caliber and the warning scroll being on the bottom of the barrel.

Can anyone offer anymore info?

Value, rarity, etc?

Thanks

Anything?

All I can come up with is the actual guns made for the San Diego Sherrifs department were laser engraved on the barrel as such. And the right grip was likewise laser engraved.
Shipped in wood presentation cases with glass lids.

Over-runs were sold unmarked in blue plastic boxes to the general public.

Would likely make a very nice 10mm conversion as well.

They're in the second post in the thread. Thanks

I understand Ruger did make a few 38-40 / 10mm pieces.

Yes, I believe Buckeye had them made by Ruger. I'd love to fall in to one of them at a good price.
