need a bit more info as to that serial number.......is it a 5 digit number, starting with a 6 ?? the #### in front and back, throws it off a bit.....
target sights? T678 ?? if its a LOW number?? this too will make a price difference....the red eagle MK Is started around the #15000 range, so it would be more help to make a better valuation for you, as to the serial number, just leave off the last digit or two, use an "x".........
good luck

"....fixed sights tapered barrel...."
Not a Mark I. It's either a 4" or 6" Ruger Standard Automatic Pistol.... catalog RST4 or RST6. The Mark I has either a heavy tapered target barrel or a bull barrel, fully adjustable rear sight, and is rollmarked "MARK I" on the left side of the receiver.
An honest 99% without box or papers is $275 or so around here. Regional variation could affect that number.

A standard in the 65xxx range also indicates it probably has tapered bolt ears. The tapered ears were a way for Ruger to save $ and steel during the Korean War. Instead of machining the entire bolt out of a single piece of bar stock, they produced the bolt ears as a single piece (probably having them cast) then attached them onto the back of the bolt.

see, there's the difference, you have a standard auto,, that "may" have a tapered ear 'Korean war, vintage bolt, so that would put it in the upper $250 range, otherwise, it s a $200-225 gun, have gotten them around here in the $150-175 range ( how about a month and a half ago?? they book a bit higher, but "market" price is NOT there ............

Don't get us wrong, they are collectors items as far as most of us are concerned. But with low supply and demand (there aren't that many auto collectors as say...Ruger SA collectors), they don't fetch much of a premium.
What you have is just a nice early auto made only 5 or 6 years after Ruger started the business....and they've made 30 million guns since then!
