1961 Blackhawk box color

[smith1961]

I thought that boxes from this era were red and black? Didn't the yellow/black boxes come out in 70's?
There's a flattop .357 for sale, but it's in a yellow box....... :?

yellow, black end label, two piece box would be correct, the red/white boxes came out with the new models.....
the Single and Super Single Sixes were a two piece black, with a red end label...so sounds like it may be correct, IF its a two piece box...any of the Old Models that may have gone in for the "safety update" were returned in a yellow/black end,ONE piece ,fold up box....hope this helps

What's the end label say? Barrel length? Catalog number?
