ruger OM shipping boxes

[Chief]

What style of box was used to ship OM super blackhawks circa 1972?
Thanks,
Chief

That would have been a two piece, black box with a red end label, marked as a Super and S-47...that late the serial number (with an 80 prefix) would be written in white marker on the side of the box, and would have shipped in a one piece cardboard wrapper ( shipper) all info stamped on the end label.........
hope this helps Chief

Works for me. Thanks rugerguy. I don't imagine there are too many of theses around now.

You will find the standard factory boxes such as the ones Dan described on occasion. We see them for sale in the Classifieds frequently. Many are quite collectible in their own right.

Finding the original shipping outer "wrapper" is another matter altogether. They are out there . . . in scarcity and in price.

:mrgreen: Yep, can't remember where or when I got it but I found it full of some non gun related stuff.
