Hi Power Box

[adamsredlines]

Ok, I know we have at least 2 Hi Power freaks on here.

These boxes....are there "real" and "repro" ones, or are all of these repro?

I HAD an Israeli Hi Power that was refurbed and later sold it...but still have the box. Is that likely the same box as listed above, or are there "original" ones that refurbed Hi Powers came in?

Hopefully this makes sense.

Down in the description it says the box is made in the USA. I have never seen that particular box before. I have purchased surplus imports in similar cardboard boxes which were most likely also made in the USA.

I understand the one in the link is.
My question is if it's a copy of a "real" box, or if all boxes like that are copies.

I’ve never seen that box. I did find this on another forum. https://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=172654

And I thought I was the only box freak here.

I've actually turned down rather outstanding gun deals because the pistol's box was absent. I can not for the life in me figure out why people toss the box that a weapon comes in.

I have kept very few of the boxes my gun came in. I always bought guns to shoot, not to collect. In more recent years I’ve kept the boxes. I actually have the boxes that the boxes came in.

Yeah, I ALWAYS keep the boxes. Helps in resale. And we all know how I flip firearms.

I have all the boxes for my pistols. I throw away the cardboard box for a Ruger 10-22 or similar.

I have always kept the boxes but I have a problem... what do you do with the darn things? They take up a lot of space and usually are somewhat fragile. How do you all store them??
