The fake boxes have been an issue with the Colt collectors for several years now. There's an individual from Sparta TN that has been doing it on a couple of major auction sights. He even has pre-1900 SAA boxes he will sell you for $750. He's gotten much better at faking them too, it's become difficult to tell them from real boxes in some cases.
