$900 for a COLT WW2 M1911A1 shipping box!
Now that i have your attention, I was at the local shop and saw a S70 Nickel Gov Model sitting on the shelf. Tag states it has the box. So I ask to see the box and they hand me a original WW2 Colt box with a Colt '44 serial number on the bottom. Inside was a WW1 cleaning rod, brush and a partially opened contract mag that is NOS. I tried to buy the box by itself but they wouldnt do it. So I bought the whole package for a pretty good price of $900. I didnt really want the gun and really wanted the box. I thought it was pretty cool to get a real COLT box, eventhough the M1911A1 that came in it originally is probably long gone.
Hopefully everyone agrees that this is a REAL box as I believe it to be.
