Lots of "experts" on the 1911 forum telling me that:
A. It needs to be cleaned. B. The wax and grease on it are not original. C. No one has ever seen a box like that before. D. If you can't shoot it, it isn't worth having. God I love internet forums.

I think I would be VERY tempted to clean it up! But that's just me...
I'd want to see it in brand spanking new condition. I don't really consider wax and cosmoline part of the "original" condition. Something like a coat of Mobil1 to make it look all shiny and new. Caked cosmoline just turns me off.
