Hello, I wanted to ask a question to anyone that may know an answer. I'm looking at a 1903 Springfield rifle that was bought by a gentleman in 1950. it is still in the wax paper/ cosmolean wrap and the box it was shipped in. My friend has the rifle and wants me to find out a little more about it. I have researched the rifle and it isn't worth much, (extremely bubbafied). A local gunsmith told my friend that the box is worth more than the rifle. The box is intact but old and brittle, the original paperwork is with it along with the shipping tags. The buyers name and address along with the arsenal it came from. Which is: General Supply Raritan Arsenal, Metuchen, NJ. 06/28/50. He is more concerned about the box than anything else. Is it possibly a collectors item and if it is would it be worth much? Thank you for any help, Jeff
