IMO $350-900 depending how bad somebody wants one.
What's my 1959 Mark I Worth?
My father bought this 1959 Mark I back in '63 in Germany from an old Gunny he knew. We've had it in the family since then. Since I am the only one of my generation left, I have a small arsenal, having inherited everything by now, and am considering getting some insurance to cover said arsenal. (My dilemma is giving all the serial numbers up to ANYONE!) Having said that, can I get a decent estimate on my Mark I from you folk? I've included a closeup of the small amount of oxidation around the ejection port. Other than that, its in good shape. Evidently Dad sent it to Ruger in 1978 for repair of some sort, for that's the date on the box. (I had graduated and was living in another state by then.) I'm uncertain what the repair was for, but the pistol shoots just fine now.

yes, I zoomed in and it doe s look like an #18 and would agree with the 79 dated manual...is there a "warning notice" on the left side of the barrel????after Jan.1 1979 they starting marking them...and yes as noted above thats about the going rice for the "package" just wish there was less pitting on the receiver....it would be a piece of cake to redo one of this model.......
