I bought this 1953 vintage Ruger standard pistol for a very reasonable price, it just needed some cleaning

Nice one! Tapered ear from the look of it. I was supposed to get a tapered ear Standard from a family friend but his son turned it into the police when he died...

Can't go wrong with the Standard Auto!

TCB,

Congrats on your 53' find (my birth year)...great find and as per your wonderful blog documentation, cleaned up really nice! I had been eyeing a 53' on auction, but asking way too much and needs a head to toe restoration (bluing is terrible-50%).

Soooo, found and have a RST4 1950 Red Eagle coming tomorrow (SN 3560) that looks in Great condition. Bidding was at half of BIN price, so jumped on the BIN $ to secure this, my first, Ruger Standard collector! Doesn't look used, but I'll take it down anyway for very detailed cleaning. Needs a grip emblem, but already have that secured and coming! I'll have before and after pics for my references (no blog), but will post here the final outcome!
