My kind of crop circle....
Purchase Order for the stampings of the original Ruger Hand Drill, which became the frame of the Ruger Pistol. This was before Sturm, Ruger and Co. was formed in 1949 (PO from 1946). Note the words "Ruger Automatic Pistols" under the Ruger Corporation Name.
perhaps order "Z-100" was for the prototype stampings? I understand many of these were returned when the company folded, the question is, how many were used to put prototype pistols together?

I remember the radio gun. Haven't seen one since I was a kid in the '70s in England. A friend of mine had one. It was, of course, a plastic toy, following the craze for "spy" toys with the success of James Bond, and Man from U.N.C.L.E. and the like.
ReplyDeleteOdd seeing one in the hands of an adult, but it was just light plastic. A catch allowed the buttstock to fold down, and pushing button saw the barrel shoot forward, spring loaded.
A very cool toy.
