Model 51 Box Contents

[Vtgw938]

I picked up several S&W boxes and one was this model 51 box with some of the contents. The model 34 instruction sheet was in another non-model 51 box. Any chance it would have come in the 51 box? I see that there are correct 51 instruction sheets.

Both are 22/32 Kit guns but I kinda doubt it since the 51 is MRF and the 34 manual is specifically 22LR. But with Smith, who knows? M10952 probably shipped in 1969/1970; does that jibe with the most recent date in the manual? There should be a date code below the pic on page 2, "prices effective" date at top of page 3, and a date code at the bottom of page 4.

My 34-1 was shipped in 1968 and I've been researching the manual variations for sale online. Still looking for the right one!
