Model 1911A1 pistols were shipped in fairly light cardboard boxes, and were not immersed in cosmoline. The lid was taped, and nothing more than a protective paper was used to prevent rust. Quite a few of the Lend Lease 1911A1's were Ithacas, and quite a few came back from England in the early 50's still in the original boxes.
