Depending on whether or not your gun is an early issue, the Model 586 did come in both styles of boxes; i.e. 2-piece box or 1-piece folding box.
The 2-piece blue box will have metal corners with 4 "rings" and an end label with handwritten model specifics.
The 1-piece blue box will have "Revolver" printed in large letters across its top, and either a handwritten or computer-printed end label.
I don't recall if the early nickel guns came in gray boxes but it is likely they did.
