Hi Duane: Welcome to the Colt Forum. I am afraid I don't know what the proper box for a Pocket Pos. should look like. However,the box you describe sounds like a post war box to me. The 2-piece woodgrain boxes came into use, I think, in the mid '50s (after the brown hinged boxes) and versions of them were used until the adoption of the one-piece wood grain boxes with styrofoam insert that came into play around 1970 or so. Take a look at the bottom of the box and see if there is a serial number marked in white china marker there. If so, and if it does not match the gun's serial, your question is answered. Hope this helps you.

Hi Charlie: Thank you for the welcome and responce. There are no other marks of any kind on the box. The reason I thought it might be original is 1. It is a perfect fit for the gun 2. the gun appears to be unfired with no mark on the recoil shield, cone, or barrel. Duane
