VCI Paper

[boykinlp]

I am curious about the VCI Paper that S&W wraps their guns in before shipping. Do any of you folks know approximately when this type was used? Also, if you have pictures of other paper, and know what timeframe it was used by them, please post them here. Thanks.

VCI stands for Very Cool Indeed paper.

I'm 90+ percent sure it was in use in 1956.
