I believe the first 250 44 Mags may have come in a wooden box.  Seems like I've seen pictures of them but will need to do some searching.  The revolver would have been finished in dove gray.

I agree with Jody--only ones I have seen pics of were the x of 500 with Dove gray finish.

The type that Dude (thanks for sharing your pic) has is the only factory wood box that I recall seeing.  I've seen a couple other types in the past, but they seem to have been made by someone else.

Those cases were made for the first 500 44's made. The guns numbered 0~250 were engraved & 251~500 were not engraved. I don't have a pic of the box top, but assume it's plain with no logo?
