Colt Pocket Positive in original box

Just a small nitpick, Douglas. The pistol would be referred to here as "boxed". Or "originally boxed".
"Cased" in English gun parlance, refers to a custom fitted, (usually factory) presentation container, usually including accoutrements, ammunition, etc.

Thanks for pointing that.
Corrected!
I guess that I used the word "cased" because it is a common expression when you collect military medals (at least I always see "cased medal").
