The bag has been repaired in several places in its long history, most recently by us to stabilise and make good the outer binding which runs across the edges of the bag and the flap. An interior fabric compartment would benefit from some attention to re-attach one corner of it to the bag, but the main leather divider inside the bag is in good shape. There are considerable signs of age and wear to the bag, but the leather has been re-conditioned and feels good, and structurally the bag feels sound. The handle is similarly sturdy and feels suitable for continued use.

The bag measures approximately 26cm (10¼ in.) by 16cm (6¼ in.) and without contents is about 2cm (¾ in.) deep, with the sides able to expand to approximately 5cm (2 in.).

The case is structurally quite sound, although it should be borne in mind just how old this is, so casually throwing it around is not recommended. The lining has been replaced with a modern bright mustard yellow (almost gold, but not quite) which should prove to be hard wearing enough and provides a contemporary flourish to the otherwise black casing. The lock does not come with a key, but the catch does operate enough to keep the lid in place. Finally, the handle has been repaired using remnants of the original interior in order to retain as much originality as possible.

The case measures approcximately 29cm in length (11½ in.) with a depth of 11cm (4¼ in.) and a height of 7.5cm (3 in.). Internally the measurements are approximately 27cm (10¾ in.) by 9.5cm (3¾ in.) by 6cm (2¼ in.)

Offers are invited on this special and genuinely unique item.
