Original S&W Wood Presentation Boxes

[rczeltman]

Hello, I have just joined the S&W Forum as a new member. This forum was recommended to me by a S&W employee who stated that a wealth of information was available on this forum. I am seeking to obtain hinges and latches to the original Smith & Wesson Wood Presentation Boxes manufactured back in the 1960's and 1970's. I have the original revolvers that came with these original wood boxes and want to restore/replace the hinges/latches that have deteriorated over the decades. The interiors are in respectable shape, but I just need to find where I can obtain the original hinges and latches for these boxes? I asked S&W, including Roy Jinks, who could not recall where they obtained these hardware items back in the 60's and 70's. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Welcome to the forum!

Your question will likely get more answers in the lounge or S&W knives and collectables.

Thanks for the suggestion USAF385 to try the lounge, s&w knives and colectibles. I've placed the question on the lounge.

Thanks gunlovingirl from TN for welcoming me to the forum.
