Congratulations on your find... It's a keeper.
I was offered a 1958 Single Six by a friend of Miss Tina's several years ago when the lady went thru a rough spot. She said she needed $150 right away and that was all she would take for the gun, which she had owned for thirty years. It was in excellent shape, other than needing a detailed cleaning and the screws all tightened. The hammer pivot screw was sticking up from the frame 1/4". I finished with the gun, wiped it down, and put it in the safe, always intending to shoot it, eventually.
About two months ago, she called Tina and asked her to see if I would consider selling the gun back to her. She had turned her life around, been on a new job over a year, and would love to have it back. But, if I didn't want too, she would understand. I had let a number of guns go over the years, and never gotten the opportunity to recover any of them, so I didn't hesitate. I sold it back to here for the price I paid.
I will eventually put a single action in the safe, but it will likely be a centerfire.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
