Couldn’t pass it up, a 1953 Standard. Just a shooter, but it looks to have been taken well cave. Also has the original box and manual that came with it. For what I spent I just assumed the box came from somewhere else.

Here’s a couple pics. PS. It needs a bath

Looks like a fine old honest pistol. Let us know how it shoots.
FT44

Looks like a 2-piece bolt with the flat on top. Should be a great pistol. Ya done good!

Another great snag! Those boxes are tough to find, especially in any kind of condition.
Chet15

I bought one just like it in Tulsa off some old guy.....
I think he might have taken advantage of a young guy like me

That old man was wondering when were you intending to pay for that pistol?

I think he is saving soda and beer cans to redeem the deposit to pay you... Either that or you are going to get a truck load of empty cans...
