The dark tan coloured case has a good patina. At some time in the past the keepers for the top strap and the leather hinge have been secured with studs not stitching ( see images ) The girth strap is attached so that the flask will sit on the near-side of the saddle. The case closes with a billet fastening and has its original top strap which attaches the flask to the D ring of the saddle.
