I buy the revolver, not the box.
If it comes with the original box that’s fine. But I am more interested in the gun. My meager collection has about 50% original boxes. I would not buy a non-original box just to have a box.
Since I keep my guns in a gunsafe the boxes reside somewhere else. I sometimes take pictures with the boxes but otherwise seldom pay much attention to them.
I will admit that in the 60’s and 70’s I just threw them away. 😳
The collectors on the forum will probably ride me out of town on a rail. In my defense I have seen the error in my ways. 😎
