I was in an Antique Store today and came across a S&W Model 29 Box. The Box is in good condition and the end flap reads as follows.

Model  Caliber  Barrel  Fin  Stock  Features

   29        .44         4      B       TS    TT  TH  RR  WC

Serial AYM 56xx

It includes the Owners Manual, Warranty Card, and the Unopened Tool Package with a cleaning rod, bore brush, bore mop and thumb screwdriver.

I picked it up for trading stock ( I really have no use for it) I wondered what year it might be. Any ideas?  RD

I know they were boxed in the late 70s Presentation boxes were used for the n frames model 29 44 mag 57 41mag 27 357 mag and i believe there was a 45 caliber n frame also. As to a value of the box I have no idea
