I only have one. A pedestrian 27-2 from the late 1970s in nickel. But it is the most complete S&W package I own. Even came with the cardboard sleeve for the case. No plain shipping box for the revolver, though.

SP,
Is the sleeve slightly larger than the presentation case? Was there a yellow plastic band to pull up the liner and get to the paperwork? If so there never was a plain box for the revolver.
If the outer cardboard box was larger, it contained the revolver in a plain blue box, the presentation case sealed in plastic film, and a cardboard spacer to keep things in place.
Your package may be complete!
