Re: Rare order form
That's a great example of that one!!
Yes, from 40+ years of collecting paper... that was the toughest one to find by far.
With the first printed material coming out on the Mark I about December 1950 or so, it is no wonder it is rare as there probably weren't many catalogs like that one with the order form... And, Ruger went to a strict distributor system not long after they started shipping guns... which meant goodbye to the process of having individuals send in their $37.50 check for a Ruger pistol.
