When I say new, I mean brand new old stock. This was a heck of a find so I have to show it off to the gang here..
what is particularly interesting to me on the label is the bright blue finish?.
I don’t have many of the original cases with labels. This is the first time I’ve seen the bright blue finish on the label.
Not sure how common that was. I’m sure ole dog could give me a history lesson which I look forward to reading..

I think Bright Blue finish is the DW term for polished blue as opposed to matte blue used of most model 14-2s. I could check the many boxes and cases I have but I think if they are not Matte blue or stainless they say Bright blue. 

 That is a gorgeous gun . Post 1986 Monson with the improved sideplate cylinder stop and the knurled hammer tang. Did you get a barrel tool with it?
