I picked up a stainless No. 1 45/70 in Tulsa last month. I had it lettered and it shows it was used as a show sample for 10 years. The rifle is not stamped with a “S” or “U” that I have found.
Ruger used variations including an * or even nothing.
I just sold a "new" red label dad got from rody's directly via ruger. It had the blue "used " tag but no U S or * I suspect yours originally had a blue tag in the box
