Although I am not a dealer, I would love to have original Leitz boxes for my original M4 and my original Dual-range Summicron whose original boxes I discarded immediately upon purchase in 1967 since I bought the gear for use and not for storage. ;-) ..........and still have and use them. Seth P.S. Now that I think about it, contact me off-list with a list of boxes and I'll make an offer. Reason: I have a number of LHSA friends who could be interested.
