1951 Standard pistol

Curious, is the safety marked with a F and S on the type 9 in your pic ?

I looked in one safe and found another blue trigger auto and it does have the F and S . The consecutive blue trigger gun must be in one of the other safes.

Hmm.. interesting. Thanks for the reply, and appreciate you taking the time to look!

Great looking pistol, didn't take you long to find one
Now you need a Red Eagle Target Pistol to keep her company .

Good Hunting,

Well it only took three years, but it looks like I found one and now have a pair of 1951 Red Eagles.

Great score, two fine looking early pistols. These really enhance your collection.

If it falls within the s/n range of 17,273 to 21,808 it is a type 9.

There is an exception to that. #6543 was an old receiver at Ruger that didn't get assembled until Ruger was in the midst of using up their blue triggers, so has all the features of a Type 3 Red Eagle except blue bolt and blue trigger.
