the owner of the gun can't spell much less take care of a semi rare gun. The gun is a $600 gun at max. What collector value it had was lost when the 10mm cylinder was lost and when the gun was not taken care of. It would take another $500 to get the gun back in good condition, maybe a bit more according to what condition it is inside and it would never be worth what you spend to get it back in "perfect" condition
. Buckeye Sports of Ohio had several hundred of the guns made up but you very seldom see any of them. When we do they are usually in about that shape.
Buckeye Sports also had Ruger make a run of the Blackhawk in the dual cylinder 32/32-20. All the guns I have seen were identical with a plain jane look and the Buckeye leaf logo on the top strap. Barrels were 6" or 6 1/2, don't remember which. They are not really collectors items except for the hard core Ruger collector.
