Question about boxes--Teach me please

Space in the safe is prime real estate so if I have a gun that also has the box, even if it is NIB, the handgun has a slot and the box is located elsewhere.
Me? I love love love gun boxes. And gun boxes aren’t as cool, valuable, useful and fun and enjoyable as handguns are HOWEVER, they are definitely more rare.

Yep, me too. I was SO happy that the WVPSC 4566TSW came with everything. Paperwork, orange safety plug, even the fired case in the little envelope.
Some people, like myself and daka, it makes a difference.
Others, it doesn't

I have a blue plastic box with the blue early fragile latches but the label still on the box has a Spec Order Code of 0347 that dates it to December 2000.The box is from a Model 66.

So I had more time to inspect our inventory at the show today. The big 44 mag revolvers come in blue plastic cases. The M&P semis, & J frame revolvers come in cardboard boxes. All guns just arrived from S&W, & brand new. GARY.
My SW22 Victory purchased new in 2017 came in a cardboard box.

I should have been clear with my question.
I have uploaded a photo of 3 boxes and would like to know the years S&W used these three boxes.
All boxes are from S&W Autos.
The cardboard box is from a 645 that is from 1988.
The blue box with blue latches is from 1996 and it is a CS45.
The box with gray latches is from a 410S made in 2005.
If the experts can give a time line of the usage it would be great. I think I now know the blue box with blue latches started in 1995.
Thanks again for any info on the years S&W used each box.

Are you really able to buy directly from Smith & Wesson, or do you mean just arrived from a distributor?

#2. I was basically saying the guns were factory fresh, not inventory that had been sitting on our shelves for ten years. But my boss hates it when I text from the show, so I had to make it as few words as possible. GARY.
Have some boxes that are missing the gray latches, anybody know if you can get just the latches anywhere?
