Blackhawk Brass Frame box labels

[csb45]

Does the Blackhawk .357 Brass frame box label include the "B" after the model number?

"Sometimes", not always..
However if it left the factory as a "B" the Factory Letter should state that..otherwise it was an add on by a previous owner.

Yes the factory letter does state the model number with the "B".

BUT, not the "box label" itself, there may be a marked 'B' on the outside cardboard shipping sleeve.......I do recall seeing a Super Blackhawk that is usually marked S-47 but it came with the '7' marked out and a '6' marked on the end label of the box, this was for the cutdown ( shortened) 6 1/2 inch Super Old model........

As rugerguy has mentioned,, it's the outer SHIPPER that has the "B" denoting a brass grip framed gun. The normal box label was never printed with a "B" as part of the model info.
