Your 1968 Single-Six should have a black box with red end and red eagle on the lid. That type of box was used right up into 1973, and in fact the leftovers were used on the first 20-30K of the first New Model Single-Sixes.

The box that you are talking about is a one piece box with a dull finish. The correct box is a two piece box with a shiny finish. They both have the same color.M1Lover said:street said:That yellow and black box is the correct box for that gun.
I thought this color scheme didn't show up until the late 70's... This, of course, would not be the first time I was wrong...
Thanks for your input. H.
