I now have a question for everybody. When I bought the model 14 no dash, along with it came a non labeled blue box aND the wax paper inside. The shop owner said that was the box brought in with the gun. I was expecting a gold box though. Did smith and wesson use blue or gold boxes in 1957?

My 14 and pre-14 are my favorite range guns. They make me look like I can really shoot. S&W used both blue and gold boxes during that time. I believe the S/N should be written in grease pencil on the bottom of the box.

Yep it has a white wax pen number written on bottom (back) of box but seems to start with a g or 6 dash a something 0130. Not even close to gun number?

Yes. Blue two piece boxes for the K-38, K-22 and K-32 started showing up in 1957, maybe even as early as late 1956. Gold boxes were still in stock, so they show up as late as the early 1960s. I have both colors from this period in my collection.
