Note: This box is similar to the Huegel # WCC-8 S-1(b) variation. The differences observed are that this box displays blue printing as opposed to black and the bottom of the box does not match Huegel's sample photo. The differences observed on the box bottom are "Made in U. S. A." is printed on the left half of the box in a different font than Huegel's and the wording is slightly different due to this being a 22 Short box. This box displays the product code "K1208R" on the side panel, NO patents on the bottom of the box, and nickel casings.

This box is S-27(a) in Huegel's Super-X Checklist.
