waltusma Posted February 1, 2018 Share #26 Posted February 1, 2018 Yes, in the first picture, that was a reproduction E-case in the light brown as opposed to the usual olive. I got that from the same French company that you found. In the updated second photo, that is an original light brown E-1 case that I acquired from an estate sale a year later. I was fortunate; those light brown ones are hard to come by. What is your opinion of that reproduction one? Is it an accurate replica and worth the cost? I just picked up an original but its not in the greatest shape. Id like a replica for museum displays and classes. Thanks. Walt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share #27 Posted February 1, 2018 Here is a side by side comparison of the two. The one on the left is an original. It is tan, compared to the usual olive. The one on the right is the French reproduction. It is of good quality and the interior has the same pockets and snaps. However, it is a lighter, almost orange color, and the leather has also been dyed that color. I think if the leather were dyed darker it would be a very good match.
