I have seen and handled this gun while at Steves Gunz a couple of weeks ago.
The photos do not do it justice. Much nicer in person. It a shooter also.
I would consider it a BBQ gun.

If it were mine I would have to shoot it. But, this one appears to have never been shot. Plus, I have several SAA's and rifles in 32-20 so I really don't need it.
It's a 38-40 and what looks like Turnbull color case. The action is already done too. I have a spare cylinder that can be reamed to 40 S&W. I carry an old Glock 22 and i have one of the Kel Tec Sub 2000's in 40. So, I am already setup for ammo. It would be kinda cool to have a dual caliber SAA

Yep, you saw several of these neat guns. The 327m Ruger being only one of the Gary Reeder guns.
I will add more as I get them listed.

If you are talking Colt, it depends on what year it was made. I don't know the break down but some of the 1st gens had cased hammers where the 3rd gens have in-the-white sides.
As for the color-case, I betting Turnbull did both the Ruger and this Uberti. Sure looks like his work.
Recently had Gary work on a Ruger Vaquero 32 H&R for me, thought about having him go to 327 mag with it, but didn't
I can attest to the fine craftsmanship Gary provides.

OK, I've been wondering. Have you compared it? Is it just a stretched single 6. This Reeder gun is based on one of the full size 32 H&R Vaqueros. So it is definitely on the heavy side. Might be a good think with full house loads, though.

Got it out for the first time this week. Here's the range report:
