box for pistol

Does s&W sell replacement boxes? I have the info sheet for my 547, but no box.

I don't know if S&W sells boxes or not. I suspect they do not. However, having a "box" and not the "correct box" shouldn't add any value to your 547. The correct box, the one that adds value to a firearm would be the one that came with the gun and has all the relevant gun info including the serial number of the gun printed on a label on the end of the box.

Check E-bay, and Gunbroker. Boxes show up on both sites.

You can buy old boxes from time-to-time on different sites, just as you can buy most anything. In addition, there are fake S&W boxes available, made in China. You can also buy blank labels and fill them in. Then you can try to sell the gun to some good-faith purchaser for lots more than it is really worth, like someone recently tried to do to me. It is called fraud, theft, cheating, counterfeiting, and a few other even less flattering terms. Fortunately, and with the help of some of the members on this forum, I exposed the fraud and was able to purchase the gun for its actual value rather than the inflated LNIB price they were trying to scam.

I think that purchasing a phony box for a gun, regardless of your motives, is a real poor idea. Even if you just want it for "sentimental" reasons, someone later on down the line is going to try to screw someone out of $ by claiming it is original.

The new edition of plastic boxes are readily available from S&W.
