That is Nancy Padua on the bottom, so the top signature is probably Steven Vogel
Signed at the 1981 Ruger Collectors theme show in Monroeville, Pennsylvania???

75th Anniversary .22 pistol

Couldn't stand it any longer. Had to write to my best contact at Ruger (auction Annie) to let her know that the higher ups at the factory should not call the new 75th Anniversary pistol a "STANDARD" model, and that the configuration it is in is actually just an updated variant of the "...

Re: 1971 RDA-34

I believe a box sold for $10 or less on ebay recently. They do show up from time to time.
