Came across this nice little gem. Shows some honest wear and use, but not too bad overall and priced right.

Very nice, would this have shipped in the all red box with black eagle logo?
OP
Yes, this would have shipped in a one piece with hinged lid style box.
Unfortunately it did not come with the box though.
That one is very nearly pristine and quite a find.
That's a nice find. I don't know why, but I can never come up with guns like that anymore.
That's a good one! Bill Ruger put Colt and High Standard out of the .22 pistol business with the Standard and Mark 1
Sweet !
Nice Snag, good for you.
I might have a spare hinged box, I'll check.

These pistols bring back a memory for me. I grew up in Southern Iowa on a farm back in the 1950's. I had a cousin that when the families got together for dinner afterwards we would take off and roam the woods. My Dad and his two brothers had farms adjoining so we had a lot of adventures. I always remember one afternoon when we were doing this and we heard gun shots from the oldest uncle's house so we approached it and was on a hill in the timber above the house. We sat and watched and it was an older cousin who was shooting a .22 pistol. I wasn't old enough to be seriously interested in guns then but years later after I had become a gun enthusiast I know that it would have been a 4 inch barreled Ruger standard semi-auto as I remembered it was very similar to a Luger pistol in appearance. It's funny how you can remember something like that which happened probably 70 years ago like it was yesterday, yet I struggle to remember much about a wedding or something similar that happened only a year ago or so.
