Ruger Standard – .22 LR – MFG 1967 – Mark I Target – w/ OG/ Box – MK1

This is a no reserve penny auction for a Ruger Standard semi-automatic pistol in .22 LR. Serial number – 453097. Manufactured in 1967, this Ruger is in good condition for its age and includes the original box and warranty card and two magazines. The Ruger Standard, as it was originally known, had its origins in Bill Ruger’s garage. Bill wanted to design and market a new type of pistol, and in 1945 acquired a captured Nambu pistol from a returning marine. He was eventually able to create a pair of copies, and then moved on to build a prototype of his new design. Please review the photos as there is rust and pitting on the metal and blemishes on the grips.
