Bump for more boxes. There are some hoarders out there that have not responded...you know who you are.

I agree. Interesting to note that a CPO I picked up from TGS ~ a year ago still came in a "Sig Sauer" marked red box, not the newer SIGARMS designation. Or did they switch back? I can't keep track...

Yes, they did switch back a while ago.

Thank you, Dan. Any more boxes? Please....

Nope.
I only have the blue and black new-style cases. The 226 case belongs to my father. I believe he purchased it back in '85 when his department started allowing officers to carry semi-autos. At that time officers had to buy their own if they wanted a semi. The box stayed in his locker until he retired in 08.

A few more:

P220parts,
Thanks. Got a date for the P220 box?
What's the story on the 10mm? Is this something besides the Gray Guns conversion? I'm in the dark on this one. Date? Is the box white, or translucent?

This box is full of wine.

This thread is full of win.

Thanks to Parabellum, we have been granted "sticky" status.

The P220 is 1980 and the translucent box is what I keep the 220 10mm in. It is a box that never went into production and a SIG fan managed to keep a few from the dumpster. Was told there were several colors made as well.

i agree.....very interesting and informative

The photo contributions are greatly appreciated, but please try to put a date (and gun model, if not obvious) with your boxes.

here's a black L.E. box that has been relabeled
for a cpo 226....under the cpo label i can only
make out 226-40...the s/n dates to 1998. i picked up the empty box on ebay.

This is a fun thread.

I can't offer much - you've posted all my boxes.

The Mosquito in 2010.

Those are really nice to see. Boxes are sort of like a time capsule. It's interesting to see the styles over the years.

They have therm stacked four foot high in the compasny store.

Those are neat looking. Nice to see how they changed over time.

And a few more: 1994, 1984, 1984

My latest box aquisition is this blue cardboard box that contained a 9mm P220 "Assembled By RPS". The proof date on the gun is 1982 (JC).
