Reeder Custom Guns - Ruger collectors? Engraved flattop?

I bought this Ruger last year. It's off the chart gorgeous. Wood case, ivory grips, beautiful engraving, gold bands. 357. 6 1/2 barrel. I've never connected with Ruger about it. It was unfired when I got it, but I could not resist shooting it. I'm possibly looking to re-home it to a good family. I love it, but am always worried about breaking the grips or something. I'm like a bull in a China shop. If you have something similar or possible info or interest please message me. Thank you, Gary, for the space.

selling real ivory is now illegal, thanks to some liberal politicians. Also you probably hurt it's value by shooting it. Most collectors get all bent out of shape if you even cock the gun. If they see the light ring on the cylinder where it has been cocked, they usually just walk away. And shooting it, if it has never been shot before, can take several hundred off the selling price. They are a picky bunch.

I bought it in local shop but guess it had sold in auction just before I got it?
