It is believed that a very few of the earliest shipped guns were shipped without the hinged box, so yours may be one of the first to get the cardboard.
I take it that the box has the #500 written I pencil on the end?

Thanks for the info!

Looks like I found another book to add to the growing collection ;)

What would one expect to pay for such a piece of history today ? Estimate ? Beautiful looking ! The closest I have come is my 50th Anniversary MK II.
