HP Boxes

[forester]

Here is a vendor on eBay that has some branded boxes. Not factory original but though it might be of interest here. Several other brands available.

I'm pretty sure that is the box Century used about 20-25 or so years ago when they imported a bunch of HPs that the Austrian police had surplused.

They are not bad looking boxes...

FWIW

My Austrian Rural Police FN came to roost here in about 1995. It was ordered out of an AIM Surplus ad in "Shotgun News." Several grades were offered. Price differences weren't so much as I recall so I ordered the best grade. The pistol appeared to appear stinkin' new and unfired. A cleaning rod was included. The pistol was contained within this box which was placed in a shipping container. The box was tied or rubber banded to hold the pistol and was pretty well crushed when I got it. I saved it as a curiosity and in case it could be a reference. It appeared then much as you see it now in the photographs I made late this afternoon. I have no idea if my pistol originally left FN in this box or not.

Definitely a nice catch...

That was a really nice batch of HPs... I got a like new "E" series HP from Century at that time and it was fairly cheap.

Here is a contemporary box for a FN 1922 model from the same period.





Thanks for sharing...
