just came across a magazine pouch in the box with the warranty card. it is a bangor punta two piece box with a label that reads 46017.the pouch is a black leather woven pouch stamped 109w on the back with the s&w logo. warranty card is pink with a 1976 date on it. thinking of selling it but I how I should describe it or what it is worth. can anyone help?

Oddly enough the S&W catalog describes it as a "Clip" pouch. It's really a magazine pouch, as you have noted. The "W" means it's a basket weave design. If it's NIB, it should be worth $20, or so, to a collector of S&W leather. Original price was $13.50 in the 70s. The 46017 is the SKU number. Ed.

I know every S&W product has a SKU number, but just what the heck does S-K-U stand for?

SKU is stock keeping unit, it is an international used term for any stock or inventory. The number can then be tracked through the supply chain in the inventory management system, SAP Movex or any other inventory software.
