Is your box numbered in any way to the gun? Reason I ask is because I'm always watching various places for period correct boxes and if I should be looking for the gold box for my 1947 K22 Masterpiece.
Box is numbered to the gun, though grease pencil is a little faded, as expected in this condition.
