Hold on here. Am I missing something in this discussion. I agree that RMs didn't have the length printed on the blue picture boxes, but there were 3 different sizes produced. If you had a long barrel, it came in a long box. If you had an intermediate length, it came in the mid size box. And if you had a short one, it came in the short box. I've never heard of or seen one in an "inappropriate" size box. We've also seen the maroon hinge top boxes in different sizes. I had a triple lock in a 4" nickel box, as identified by the end label. I've seen a 6 1/2" gun/box, too. Same for 2nd models and 3rds.
Are we talking about the same thing?
