hello, I'm currently selling a model 19 that was made in 1984-85 according to S&W. can anyone tell me when S&W changed from the 2 piece blue box to the folding cardboard boxes! and were all of these considered combat masterpieces? if not, what makes them so? thanks

  I thought they were the Combat Magnum.

  According to SCSW, there was a overlap of boxes, during the mid 80's time frame. They date the 2 piece box. Between 1966-1985. One piece 1983-1997.
  
  
  I was also under the impression that the Combat Masterpiece. Was the 38 Special. Pre Model 15, before 1957. Than Model 15, until the end of production. In the late 90's.

  The Model 15 4" is the Combat Masterpiece and all barrel lenths of the M-19 and M-66 are Combat Magnums, the M-66 being stainless.
