Inside box is the extraordinarily rare orig parts & price list. Box has the serial number in pencil on bottom.

CONDITION: Extremely fine, all matching, appears to be unfired. Retains virtually all of its bright orig nickel finish with no discernible flaws. Side panel & grip hard rubber inserts are also crisp. Mechanics seem to have a problem & will not fire but everything is intact & complete, brilliant shiny bore. Box is completely intact & very fine with a few chips & minor bug damage to brown paper on lid edges & a minor chip or two on top, otherwise image is completely visible & clear. Parts list has a small tear & oil stain, otherwise is completely intact. Altogether a fine rare orig boxed Protector Palm Pistol. 4-35325 JR273 (4,000-7,000)
