Default Post war 357 6"

Another from the recent acquisitions. 6" blue post war 357. S81k should put it around 1951 1952. Good condition but this is the only one of the batch that shows significant use.

Default post war 357 - box repair suggestions

The seller called me today and gave me the gold box for this gun. Anyone ever repair a corner? Suggestions. Even as is it's a nice addition. The note indicates it was bought from Andy Andersons for. Andersons was a high end sporting goods store in the OKC area from 1931-1992.

We do have a member who restores boxes (glowe), but I've had good luck doing it myself.

I posted this before...

This is my box repair kit:

Tattered/crushed/mutilated factory blue box question?-img_4106-jpg

Apply a small amount of glue to each edge of the seam. Position the separated edges together, place a corner brace on the inside and clamp it in place. Let it set-up for a day before removing the clamps and braces. If necessary you can put a large rubber band around the outside of the box to pull the edges together.

This type of repair is reversible and causes no additional damage. I've saved more than a few boxes with this technique and the repair is barely noticeable.
