I was bored a couple of weeks ago and found a really nice Smith and Wessonbox for sale on an auction site for $10. I really like the old S&W boxes for the knives back in the 70's so I ended up winning auction for $10 as only bidder. It took me awhile to figure out what knife was originally in my cheap empty box. On the end is TR2308 and I finally figured out it was a Texas Ranger survival bowie was in box. Luck happened and I found somebody on same auction site with knife that was one of the leftover Texas Ranget knife that 15000 with brown in handle for $100 in new codition. Again I was the only bidder and ended up with knife #28171 that resides in box #TR2308. I think these knives are pretty neat and use them as displays in my gun cabinet along with a 6060 knife in box new of course a 6080 kinfe in box and a 125th anniversary belt buckle new in box I found for $25. Thought I would share with you guys a couple pics and one with my entire S&W knife/accessories collection. It is my belief some these knives required as much as 47 different operations to make each one and really were not a profitable item for S&W back in the day.
