You should throw those original boxes away post haste!

Naw, I'm the box guy. I was afraid to post in that thread.

In all seriousness, these are kinda special boxes, not a cardboard box for a $300 shotgun.

YES! Those older Sig boxes mean something as do the first generation of gray plastic German cases.

Fentonite's gun is a perfect example for that other thread. A box with a gun like that tells me it was used honestly by someone who cares and takes care of what they own. So while the finish is a little worn from 25 years of use, I would have a higher level of confidence the gun runs and hasn't been bubba'd.

Relevant to this thread. This hit my GB search this morning. JJ = 1988. Already at $580 and I'm guessing will be in the $1,200 - $1,500 range. I'm not a bidder but it will be fun to watch.

Mine's been shot more, but no idiot marks on it and the box is way nicer and includes the factory test target. ;-)

Nicer box you say?

I don't see any marks on this example. The white on the frame after the serial is the final proof which I think was stamped after anodizing on these early guns and causes some of it to flake off.

For awhile Sig at least used to proof their US barrels but no longer. We are their quality control.
