The box appears to be legit, but the gun has had its original 6" barrel replaced with a 4" Post-War version. Compare the barrel stampings with the example I own (shown below). There are actually less than 20 of these known to have been produced...
RE-Barreled Pre-War 4" .22LR Official Police on GB

All the photos above are of my gun, a legit lettered 4" Pre-War .22LR Official Police. You have to click on the link to see photos of the gun for sale on GB...
Its there now
" I'm now told there is a great chance this was re-barreled to a 4" from a pre-war 6".
Whoever rebarreled it also found a 4" box to put it in? A 6" wouldnt fit in the box shown.
What year did they change the way the barrel is roll marked from the one shown above to the one shown in the link? I have a 1966 6" that is marked like the one in the link.
