Old Smith and Wesson Revolver Boxes

[higgimw]

Good morning. I am in search of a source for old smith and Wesson revolver boxes. eBay just isn’t stocking what I am searching for. Does anyone know where I can find some old boxes? Specifically I am searching for one for a Model 29-2 8 3/8 barrel. And a Model 66-2 2 1/2 barrel. Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the FORUM from Michigan!
Check the items for sale here. Then ebay. They don't come up for sale every day! Armslist firearms accessories is a possibility, gun shows. I'm missing a box for my 66-2, 2.5" myself. It is not that a big deal to me, but wouldn't mind having 1. Bob

I've gotten boxes from this forum, from gunsinternational and from gunbroker as well as ebay. You just have to keep looking.

Welcome from Virginia;

BEWARE OF FAKES, BOTH BOXES AND END LABELS!!!!

Original boxes are hard to come by and anywhere from $50 to $100 when you do find them for sale.

Be wary of the "as new" condition ones you see on E-Bay. There is a seller there that has sold fakes for many years. He doesn't really list as reproductions but you can see the details and remember if it looks to good to be true....it usually is.

If you see any on this Forum you can trust that everything is on the up and up.

Another piece of advice but you really want to know the date periods of your firearms that you are looking for boxes for as there are many different styles, colors and printing, as well as inserts for specific barrel lengths, etc.

It's a fun world looking for those old boxes and documents for the S&W's that have long since gone out of production.
