According to Sheldon "Colt's Super .38", the Leatherette hinged box (Style II) was used from late 1948 until late 1955. The 2 piece woodgrain telescopic box (Style III) was used from late 1955 until 1967. He made no mention of the Kraft style box mentioned by cxm357.
The correct factory box for a Govt. Model from 1950 to 1959?
Is the "leatherette" box the only correct one for that decade or could it be the woodgrain cardboard also?
