just bought a nice 6 inch nickel model 29 made in 1979 or 1980. was the plain shipping box blue or silver. i have a blue unmarked box. is this correct or should it be a silver unmarked box?

The plain two piece box was used in the 1979-1983 type presentation cases! It contain the gun, the case was shipped wrapped in celophane, and both were inside a bigger cardboard box with an "end label" on the end of the big box! They had a silver or gray box for the nickle guns.
