Most of the boxes had the gold leaf lettering stamped on them, save two. One was the box containing the bellows, and the other was the one containing the bellows shade. I felt they were original factory boxes as they seemed to be made with wood support blocks precisely for this equipment, another person says that they are not original. The equipment seems to have been purchased in a post exchange, as the bellows still had the receipt in the box indicating where it was bought. The person who owned the trunk had been military, and from some of the negatives it appeared that he had been in Europe- or Eastern Europe from the uniforms of the railroad people in some. I was hoping that some of you who collect, especially with the boxes, would let me know if Leitz in fact shipped or sold Leica gear in red, unmarked boxes. Many thanks in advance!
