Even in that bad picture it looks like it's brand new. Even labs don't
often put things back in boxes in my experience. It would have been a
new spare in inventory even if it was taken out a couple times to
inspect. Still pretty amazing after all these years. Bet there is all
sorts of similar stuff sitting in dark government storerooms and
warehouses.

something like the NSWL that just ended up in inventory would likely
still be in its box.
