This was advertised for sale on another site a while back, and I loved it immediately. Sadly I was the second guy to love it, and it was already sold. On a whim I emailed the buyer and said that on the off chance he'd bought it to resell I'd be interested. He said no, but if he ever decided to sell it he'd let me know. Lo and behold, the other day I got an email from him saying he was selling it, and was I still interested. Couldn't get the check off fast enough! I've never seen one like it, although now that I have it I've heard of a few others floating around out there. It's really heavy embossed leather, real sheepskin interior with heavy wire reinforcement. Can't find a country of origin or anything stamped on it, but it's obviously quality. I love it!
