The Mark I was either a T-514 (5 1/4" tapered target barrel), T-512 (5 1/2" target bull barrel) or a T-678 (6 7/8" tapered target barrel). Ruger did not make a Mark I with a 6" barrel.
Sad story. Dealer at the show had a nice looking HS 106 or 107. I never got a close look at it because three guys were standing and talking in front of the dealers table and it sold before I could get to it. :mad:
I already had these, I - III:
But a really good price at a gun show yesterday finally tempted me to add this 75th Anniversary IV:
Some day I'll add an A-54 frame T-678.
It came from one of the "things". I know a guy who knows a gal. The knife is nice but I really like the coin and scarf. Ruger sort of teamed up on the knife.
My Dad always carried one in his billfold. It's worn almost smooth and I still have it. I have no idea how long he carried it or if he had it while in the South Pacific during WWII, but he always had it in my memory.
