Great find, complete package and all. I found one last year but only the gun itself, Serial # 1877XX, hope they're not consecutive, nah, couldn't be.

Is it typical for the box not to have that # on them?

Yes, in the 187000 serial range ONLY TWO RSS4X guns are known with employee handmade boxes for the extra cylinder out of obsolete shipping sleeve cardboard and taped together JUST LIKE YOURS!

I think that bad boy is on the move to NORTH DAKOTA :lol: :lol: :lol:

Along with a few other mighty fine RUGERS :shock: :shock: :shock: RR.

OK! I found another, but as usual, the elusive box is/was nowhere in sight........... I suggest that the RSS4 boxes with original RSS4 printing(not the over label variety) are as rare as the 10" 357 and 44 mag FT boxes.......... 8)

I think you are 100% correct. :lol: I had one and only one and it had the "Walnut Grips" sticker on the lable end of the box. Only mine was not a convertible. These guns deserve more credit then they get.

Have never owned a 10" 357 box but I have 1 10" 44 box and 2 RSS4 boxes......

I say the 357 box may be a bit harder to find since everyone in the world knows it is valuable....RR.
