High quality leather - broken in supple and soft.

New artificial sinew hand sewn into the original needle holes on the outside edges. The original white leather buckstitching is all intact and unbroken but is showing wear from years of hard work in a previous life.

| Shoulder Piece Distressed Level |
Medium. Definitely an older piece but the leather lacks any checking, bumps, bruises, or boo-boos.
|
| Shoulder Piece Notables |
Well done original trailing vine hand tooling runs the full length and the details are still sharp and clear. Close up photos sent on request. Lined on the bottom with new suede leather. Since the shoulder piece does not slide on the strap, I’ll need an additional measurement so I can properly locate it for you.
