I have seen at least one early 66 that came in a two-piece silver box, but I am pretty sure that once production got started, 66s shipped in two-piece blue boxes.

The first 100 (made in 1970) with the serial numbers K949100-K949199 were shipped in a two piece silver box with blue lettering. The guns were made to test the tooling for the new revolver and regular production guns were shipped in boxes like the one shown in post #5.
