Ruger P85 and old Mausers

My father in law recently passed away and we are in the process of evaluating his gun collection. We found a Ruger P85 in a holster and I was wondering if they came in a box or case when purchased. I do not want to waste time worrying about a plastic box if there was never one in the first place. I also need a reference for identifying his large collection of surplus Mauser rifles. Is there some gun digest type of paperback that has all the variations. Thanks in advance Scott

The earlier ones are just marked P85. If returned to the factory for the safety mod, they would be stamped on the safety lever "MKII". Later P85's were marked on the slide "P85 Mark II"

As a side note the pistol after the safety mod. they then do not strip down in the same manner. Mine is an early 1987 manufacture. YMMV.
An older book, if you can find it, is also good; Ludwig Olsen's "Mauser Bolt Action Rifles."
Hey that's my gun pictured do I get a use fee?
I should get a fee for plugging your auction. [:D]
