What year did S&W start making the five hole corners on boxes (5 rivet boxes)?
Non-relieved K Targets
- Thread starter Retired W4
- Start date
In my mind, the 5 rivet hole box was introduced to be used with N frame revolvers - 38/44 Outdoorsman and 357 Magnums. It was a riveted picture box made from 1933 to 1941. Also, the 4 rivet hole boxes were made for the K frame Outdoorsman and K22 Masterpiece in the same era. The riveted gold and blue boxes continued after WWII with both frame sizes made.

Maybe but probably not, most of the CMs shipped with magnas. Those non-relieved targets could have been special ordered with it but more likely were added later. A letter would probably tell you what it shipped with.

Interesting how the 1953's seem to have the "proud" front sight pins.
