and lastly...

does the seller live in latvia buy any chance.
its not pig skin so im afraid

Thanks for your reply. So the liner is no good? Are there known problems with these Latvian sellers? I began to be a tad suspicious when the seller suggested sending cash!

the liner is a fake. the stamping is too crisp and clear.with the amount of rust on it it shouldnt be quite as visable.
any seller from the old eastern block is a no go im afraid

Perfect ID. greg. Latvian, chemically induced rust. How do I know too? When I was a new-bee I bought a fake lid from them. I have never sold or thrown it away, as a reminder to myself of how careful to be.

Yes, total crap as described on the MCF board too! Buy nothing from Latvia unless she's a mail order bride and very good looking! And remember, the rest of her family will be living with you within a years time and you will have too support all 15 of them on your single paycheck! Latvia is a no go zone! For anything!

Funny, I've got a Russian girl at my house as Im typing this.
Yes, all are correct about this liner. Thats a very bad size stamp on the leather too, but clever with the rear stitching, watch out.
