This from memory and I am not sure just when but believe it's from the 70's or 80's. Back when S&W had retail stores located in various high travel places I had the opportunity to stop in a Retail Store on the way from Georgia where my daughter lived. I remember purchasing a belt buckle and I think the Kit Knife there, sorry, don't remember the price but I do still have them and yes, I put the knife together, it remains in the S&W box .

I seem to also recall that there were handguns for sale within these stores (Presentation Boxed ?) but they only sold S&W products if memory serves me correctly!
