Just picked up a well used and cared for Ruger New Army cap and ball revolver! These things are built super tough. Going to be fun to shoot!

They are very well built. They also make a centerfire conversation cylinder for them

Good find. I think I've only seen one (in excellent condition) in the last few years at a pawnshop, and they wanted $700 for it. Pretty stainless revolver.

A great quality revolver. I have a pietta 58 which is a fun little gun.

This is the 3rd one I've seen in many years. It was very reasonable.

Other than the standard hammer spur discoloration, she's in great shape!

They are fun to shoot and they are relatively accurate.
I picked mine up for $60.00, after the fellow behind the counter of one of the pawn shop I frequently visit, passed on buying it for $75.00.
The pistol needed a good cleaning to get it back in good working condition.

Ruger "Old Army", not New Army.
The "Old Army" and "New Army" are often confused, but are really easy to distinguish:
Old Army
New Army

I have no idea the shipping cost from here to Costa Rica. I can do my research on shipping and get back with you later today.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
