I can absolutely understand why someone would want to have the original box and accoutrements for a vintage gun, and I can understand why someone would pay a premium for the same.

Nevertheless, I am not that guy. As I’ve said many times, I can afford to buy guns; I can’t afford to buy boxes.

There is absolutely no judgment intended or implied in the above. I’m very glad we have people who expend the time, effort, and money to keep these packages together; they provide a valuable resource for the rest of us.
