Destry

with the rough example as a guide for the outside lettering

you might use one of the reproduction primer tin labels for the logo center

I can't find a good photo of the ones I had but there are a couple in this old thread by Dean

https://parkerguns.org/forums/showthread.php?t=33389

reproducing boxes is fun, the ones in this shot are some I did for props
