Correct box for a Pre 29?

Autococker07 · #1 05-06-2013, 09:15 AM

Hi Y'all, obviously my searches here have been in vain, but I am trying to find out which presentation box to look for... I have a 6.5in Pre29 #S178XXX, and would like to find the correct box for it... The box it shipped in is nice, but I don't think original (It has a brown corduroy like lining). Does anyone have a pic or link to a correct Pre29 type box?

Thanks so much y'all!!! as mentioned below, my box is WAAAAAY wrong with the brown lining, pebble exterior & different interior... I doubt it is even a S&W box, probably just a made up deal.... Thanks again! Jim

You need a black case with smooth outside. The pebble grain boxes are first year. Brown corduroy lining is a replacement.

The correct presentation case has a dark blue to black smooth exterior and clasp style latch. It is lined with blue satin. See photo below.
