I'm willing to bet that the label color doesn't mean anything and the factory just used whatever was available at the stationary store.

That’ll make it easier for sure.  I will hit the local office supply store this weekend and get as many of the colored labels as possible.

I was on eBay yesterday and see there are several Styrofoam boxes listed.

Also note: I have 4 Styrofoam boxes for various DWs. 3 are "blank" (nothing molded into the foam) and 1 has the Monson logo molded into the top half.

PS: I guess while I was away from the sport, a DW related term came up that I don't know what it means: ASG    Please advise.

ASG = Air soft Gun....Not a Dan Wesson, but a Licensed airgun

AGS = Alaskan Guide Special.....A DW we all want!

Wow lots of different colors and formats used over the years.  So far it seems the brown pac cases with yellow interior had labels that were either:

1. white label with red lettering or

2. pale blue label with black lettering

I believe I have created a replica label for all of the pics of labels submitted in this thread (except the early Gen labels, I think they have different dimensions so my labels wouldn’t work).  Please let me know if I missed one.  I also created a label for the requested 15-2V6.  I had to guess at coloring of text and background, hope it’s okay.  If not, just let me know your preference.

i want to point out one thing I noticed while doing this, DW changed their use of BRIGHT and BRITE (BRIGHT BLUE vs BRITE BLUE).  Did anybody else notice that?  Also the spacing used on the 3rd line changed too.  

if anyone wants a replica of a label just let me know.  If you haven’t done so yet, submit a pic here.  If you’re missing the label altogether, just let me know your caliber, finish, preference on text color, and preference of background color and I can create it, post it for your approval and then mail it to you.  

For those wanting copies already submitted in this thread, just PM me your name & address and I’ll snail mail yours to you.  No charge, unless it’s a lot of them! lol2
I bought a pack of Avery 5161 labels (500 labels) for $22.38.  Not bad. After printing I can cut your labels off the sheet and mail them in a small envelope so that will not cost much either.

i hope this all made sense, please let me know if you have any questions or a comment that may help.  

EDIT:  I just noticed the blue line under the leftmost caliber on some of the labels.  That is Word pointing out what it thinks is incorrect spacing…this will not be on the printed label. This shows up only because I did a screen capture to allow me to post a pic of my Word document.

Thanks Kurt B!!!!! Got my labels today they look great! Just like the originals. I replaced a couple of torn/damaged labels and was able to use them on a couple of other boxes! did not want to even charge me but i'm sending him a couple of yellow sights. I have about 40 extra ones. Long story! Anyway thanks again!

Thanks Stan, glad to help!  Not really necessary, but thanks for the yellow front signs!
