Gents,
Recently I came into a Ruger Mk-I that is stamped with a U.S. mark on the top of the pistol, just behind the barrel. Based on the SN I was able to confirm it was manufactured in 1956.
Based on some internet searching, I thought I'd request a letter to see if in-fact it was part of a government contract (I also sent in a couple requests on two fixed sight 4" GPs I have as well). Anyhow, the letter simply said "Our records indicate this standard pistol was shipped in November 1956 as model Standard, caliber .22 Long Rifle". I realize the letters are inexpensive as compared to a S&W letter, but I was hoping for a bit more info.
Is there any other reasonable way to confirm if this is a government contract pistol?
Thank you in advance.
