Thanks Harkom. Sounds like I just need to put some real 'handling wear' on the black bits, which I definitely hope to do a lot of.

As for the case, it needs a good working over. I'm planning to restitch some of the leather and re-line the interior. I also removed a divider to get the stock to lay flat, and I plan to customize the layout a little more before re-lining.

I would definitely be interested in a case label. Do you have a label from when they were at 2 Jermyn Street?

Here is the current state of the case: https://photos.app.goo.gl/8wZ9TxXih2bHEz4ZA
