estcrh Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 I was wondering if anyone here could tell if what is listed on the lid of the box matches the item inside, thanks. Quote
estcrh Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Posted April 2, 2012 Eric, I looked at that item as well.ian Ian, I have not seen that kind of decoration on a gunbai before. Quote
IanB Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 Eric, It is covered with one of those painted and embossed leathers similar to the stuff the Dutch imported. I have seen similar leather used for pouches and the like. Interesting item but rather pricey I though. Ian Quote

Im trying to gather images of real ones but cant quite figure this one out, I was hoping the writing on the box might provide a clue. Quote
