Misfit 45 Posted May 2, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 2, 2020 Hi Folks, I have never seen this before. An outer box as well as the inner box for a 1953 contract Camillus M4. The foil wrapper is fully intact, and not torn. The boxes are in great shape. The inner box even has a small piece of original tape still attached, holding the top and bottom of the box together (not shown in pics). The white powder/crystals on the leather are (I've been told) MRT crystals (Mildew Resistant Treatment). They fall off when moved. I'm not going to brush them off. Where else can you see MRT crystals on a leather bayonet handle? This is a part of history not often seen. Thanks for looking. Marv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This contract did not call for scabbards. These M4s would have been issued in one of the tens of thousands of scabbards that were already on hand.
