How much value does a box for the aforementioned gun add to the value of the gun?

Here are the questions. Is the box numbered to the gun? What is the condition of the box, missing anything, ripped corners, scuffing, interior label damaged? It can go from under $100 to over $200. If the box does not have a serial number on the bottom, you cannot be sure it is a match and there is no way of proving it came from the factory with the gun.

With gun boxes being hot right now, I would price and sell them separately unless the number is present.

Is it for a 1 1/2 "New Model" or a 1 1/2 "Old Model". I would think the 1 1/2 "Old Model" (32 Rim-fire, Tip-Up), might have a slight advantage value wise over the newer "Break Top" version.

If it's a 1 1/2 Single Action, .32CF and the box is a factory WOOD box (not pasteboard) then I'd expect the value to be very high. I'm lousy at values but the wood box (not case) was the only one made by the factory and commands a premium price.

The box in question is for a top-break, has an almost perfect label, is still hinged, and has the cardboard gun form insert intact. Not sure if it numbers to the gun, so let's assume not.

Walk down the hall to Jim Supica's office and ask him your question. Show him the box, if you have it. We have spent years training Jim about S&Ws and he has been a quick learner. His opinion will be right on the money. If the box happens to be numbered to serial number 1 Model 1 1/2 32CF, he will pay you big bucks for it ! Ed.
