Ruger advertising question

[chet15]

Need to verify whether it was March 1963 for the earliest Hawkeye/protected sight .357 Blackhawk advertisement.

I have an actual magazine ad from the American Rifleman, with that ad, dated Feb 1963.

Thanks Contender. I thought there was one earlier.
That ad didn't appear any earlier though did it?

Not in the American Rifleman. I have all the AR magazine ads for Ruger from 1949 until 1976. However,, another magazine may have had one. But if I recall correctly,, AR was the main magazine they used to advertise in.
