S&W only made about 20,000 Model 58's over the 5 years they were produced. The original owner bought this one new through his PD, wrapped about a half roll of masking tape around the box and put it up. He sold it to me 40-some years later for about 6X the original price and I was thrilled to pay it!

It took a while, but I was able to remove the masking tape and salvage the box. Just how many of these do you think survived unfired, in this condition, with everything that came with it?
