Has Anyone Seen This Before??

This FR-7 CLN is actually in a FR-7 SG box. The box is factory sealed still. Has anyone ever seen this?

:Di think maybe it was the only box they had , or the packer was not doing the job right, i had a rattlin fat rap prt in a special box, the lure was a parrot but not special, i know that came from the factory because i unpacked the dealer box and there was 2 of them, to me thats what made this lure a special and put in the collection,as its mint the box is worth more than the lure, in your case could have been the only silver plated box left. but rapala did this a lot in the past and just stuck a sticker over the other marking

The Parrot's and the Hot Mustards were both Specials at one time . I have seen quite a few of these around . In my oppinion , All most any lure is cooler in a special box

Thanks guys. I had never seen this before and thought it was pretty cool. I'll be adding it to my collection soon!
