Original S&W pistol box?

my-handyman

I was looking at some firearm boxes, and I came across a S&W box on the internet that had different writing/info on the end flap then the same pistol model box that I have?? I know they change the info on box end * for model update and other things. Can any body decipher the feature line on this box for me??

Model 63 calbr 22lr Barrel 5 Weight 30

Features 08-A2-SM-GR-BO-SA-SB-FS-CS-ZS

Product 162450 Serial # xxxxxxx

Thanks for your time and for any info that you can pass along!!

Well I don't have a definitive answer for you but quick google search found some info that may help you if you take the time to look at some of the responses: good luck and I hope you get the answers you want.:

first hit on my query:

http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-revolvers-1980-present/157179-box-end-label-codes.html

this has search criteria all the hits, but I didn't look at them all since I'm more of a Ruger fan, try this search to get the rest of the hits:

"Smith & Wesson features label on box Features 08-A2-SM-GR-BO-SA-SB-FS-CS-ZS"

You can find a listing of many codes in the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson by Jim Supica & Richard Nahas. I assume that the contents of this book are subject to copyright laws.

Blank copies of S&W box end labels have been sold by entrepreneurs on the Internet for many years.
