Details -

Born in 2011, there are gentle, horizontal compression creases across the lower front. A natural 'peak' to the top flap's curve and structural linear folds to the base and sides as is part of the construction of this style.  Designed to lie flatter than classic flaps, they have a more angular and less 'boxy' appearance than the classic design.

Colour consistent and well shaped, there is a small scuff like mark to the base on the front, base's seam on the LH side (see zoomed photo,) and light colour rubbing to the corner curves, (the rear RH's being the most visible, as shown in the close up photo.) A little cluster of three, small surface impressions to the lower, RH side of the base where the bag has rested on the chain strap in storage and natural, general creasing throughout, as is part of the make-up of the hide. A particularly forgiving finish, it camoflagues marks, scuffs and scratches with ease and  a peice you'll never worry about carrying in the rain!

The reason for the *notation is due to the age-related discolouration to a number of stitching holes on three areas of the bag. Located on the upper LH and RH side of the base, and the lower LH side panel, near the base. Shown to their full extent in the zoomed photos above, they are visible as pin-dot sized orangey marks within the stitching hole. Without close inspection they are barely there and completely unnoticable in use.

Stitching is all tight, hardware excellent and the interior is lined in entirely clean, smooth calfskin.

There are the commonly found, light surface impression to the smooth leather of the LH side of the interior flap where the zip pull rests when the top flap is closed.
