Yes the flight took place in May of 1927, but that doesn't mean that Bulova manufactured them in May or June 1927.

I agree, so that means any gold plate model from 1926 has the same chance as any of being a Lone Eagle model, regardless of the movement type.
So where do we start/stop to say a 1925/26 model is a LE or a Conqueror? Unless you have a receipt or a guarantee with the case serial number on it, it has an equal chance of being either and is totally unprovable.
So to be absolutely sure you have got a real, genuine, not-to-be-confused-with-a-Conqueror Lone Eagle, it must have a 1927 case. Any of the appropriate Bulova movements from within a year or so would be good too.

12 yearsLike plains says, super box.
This box is for a later model though, possibly the MK4, as it follows the same design as the "Round The World" watch box, the "Sky King", the "President", all these boxes were twin opening lids like your LE box, and were released in the 1930's, 1930 at the earliest.
We have ads for the MK1 box, the MK2 box, the MK3 box was the same as the MK2 which is shown in ads, and the MK5.
All these leave just one "suspect", the MK4, as the MK6 did not come out until 1940.
Although this box is shown in Stephen's "Lone Eagle Story" as being for the MK1, the design and the ads says not.

The 1927/28 release of the corner cut version only came in the long brown flat boxes and not the green or red/yellow boxes. The first release had 'Lone Eagle' stamped with the second (later 1927/28) version having 'The Lone Eagle' stamp.
The boxes I show in the Lone Eagle story are correct for the period and version.
