Thank you!Thanks for all the input everyone. After a conversation I had with username WAYNO of oregon city, I believe he has an excellent answer that clears up the mark1 VS Standard discussion that this is indeed a standard model. Please see below. Thanks username WAYNO !

Howdy.
I am a Ruger collector. MkI's and Standard Auto's are always a point of contention with us.
Originally, Ruger released the Standard Auto. Eventually they released a target model they called the Mark I. So, prior to the MkII's, we had the Standard Auto and the Mark I Target. They are not the same, even though they were made at the same time. A Standard model always has fixed sights and either a 4-3/4" or 6" tapered barrel. The Mark I always has adjustable sights and either a heavy tapered barrel or bull barrel, in barrel lengths 6-7/8", 5-1/4" and 5-1/2".
Then, when they changed to the Mark II's, they called both the Standard model and the Target Model Mark II's. Same with Mk III's and MK IV's.

Folks don't like to be wrong, and they will argue this forever, saying it doesn't make any difference.
What happens, a person advertises a Mark I, and a person looking for a Mark I discovers it is not a Mark I but it is a Standard Auto that's advertised.
On Mark II and later, they are correctly described as a Mark II Standard, or a Mark II Target.
Never is there a Mark I Standard.
