Someone sent me these pics of an EK 1 Spange with LDO box. The Spange is marked "95."

Yes, Nice L/10 marked boxOriginally posted by George StimsonAny other comments?
OK, OK, seriously...
Poor definition to the obverse, hinge, pin and catchplate that would be common on a repro, "burn" marks around the hinge and catch, wierd maker's mark...
Sorry, "not for my collection".

Nice box
Okay, I get it....
On the Spange -- I've never seen one like that without stippling behind the date and swaz. I've also never heard of one made by "95." So although the box might be good, I would have to conclude that the Spange is very most likely not.GeorgeComment

nice box
Sorry George I couldn't resist.
I figured you saw that the box was marked L/10 and that the spange was marked 95. Not a match.
Mike K covered most of the other bases.
The numbers aren't right either IMO.

all comments much appreciated! this was a VERY low cost item
in that i traded a long held piece for it, so that even just getting
the box makes it a worthwhile trade.
is it not correct, however, that not all manufacturers made their
own boxes? if so, how did they get them? i realize that this is a
somewhat general question. any info is appreciated.
george, thanks for your kind help with this!
