EK2 carton - Opinions
I have my doubts about this carton, so would welcome your opinions on it. The EK 2 is good. Apologies if I've posted this thread in the wrong section.
Many thanks,
Jeff

i cannot translate in english.
vielleicht ein durch die truppe intern ausgegebener karton für den beliehenen.
sicherlich nichts offizielles der GOK.
wie eine fälschung sieht das stück für mich nicht aus.
perhaps trevor could translate this.

"Perhaps something created by or issued by the troops themselves, but certainly not an official General Orders Commission award box"
In my opinion, it is nothing more than a modern fake.
As for the blue paper -- maybe. Looks promising to me too.

The box is definitely some modern phantasy fake with artificial aging.

OK thanks for the comments so far - The box can be ditched.
The blue paper dimensions are 19 x 19 cm. Any chance?
