Details -

At first review you'd think this piece was in an Excellent condition.

The silhouette is well shaped (these pieces tend not to soften), though has acquired a backwards 'lean' when empty.

One, small and very vague variation in the grain on the middle front of the bag, (location highlighted and shown with the zoom).

No wear, scratches or scuffs. Corner curves all excellent.

Stitching all strong and inking, (edge sealent) in place.

Top handles are excellent with the commonly seen pressure indentations to the top flap from the rear base inserts.

The detachable and adjustable shoulder strap is very good, with a surface impressions across the last hole, where the buckle has been previously set.

The main issue with this piece is the two, oval 'bubbles'* in the hide on the lower RH side panel. This is caused when the two layers of hide separate and leave an air gap between the surfaces, creating what appears as a blister. Location highlighted and shown in the photos above looking their most prominent, when the piece is in use its barely visible and does not affect integrity in any way.

A light diagonal surface scratch to the uppper RH side of the Postmans Lock Plate and some minor flattening to the nap of the suede on the underside of the flap.

 The interior is lined in clean, soft black suede, displaying general ruffling and light use, (the white dots in the photos are purely light reflections)

A circular mark from the residue of a sticker can be noted in the inner zipped pocket's lining.

Made in England.
