1st Model 38 single action Baby Russian Box.
Hey Folks.
Found this box at a antique bottle show and had to bring it home. I think it is a 1st model Baby Russian box. I am guessing in the late 1870's. A little dirty but all corners are solid not torn and the divider is in it and the little tool. I would immagine the label could be cleaned up a bit but I will leave that to the experts. It is stamped Nickle Plated and the serial number is written on the inside and appears to be 18390. It also has a red notation added to the inner label about having the barrel catch down in its place. Anyway, the usual question....what is this box worth ? If anyone is looking for such an item let me know. I would immagine they are quite hard to find. I have been looking for a 1920's 6"M&P box and they made a boat load of that gun and still have not found one. So I was a bit suprised to find a S&W box almost 140 years old at a bottle show.
