I  am not sure about the box originality

Ir rather stick to well known ones

I like this classic box EK2 is marked "G" for Godet Berlin

Beautiful box! Great find. I don't think the EKII came with boxes originally but I am sure awardees spent some hard earned money to protect and display their hard earned awards.

 

But you'll find lots of private purchased EKII's in boxes. Which of course are beautiful too =D

Yes those boxes are provided later one at the expense of the awarded person.

However the market is loaded with recently made "aged' boxes that are sold as "originals"

I’ve had a few cased EK2’s over the years, they were all private purchase.
