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!67stingray wrote: ↑Tue Mar 22, 2022 10:36 pm According to John's book, it shows 599 & 601 as being salt cod boxed, 600 is not on the list so it was most likely delivered parcel post or given as a gift - good serial number.
