Jerry is moving right now I think, so it will be a couple days for him to get back to Colorado.
The leather appears pretty oil soaked, not much you can do about that, or perhaps just very dirty? It is soft feeling?
It would never be wrong to bring something like this back to original specifications although the hole in the lid would always be there and the snap closure holes too, perhaps hidden by the strap.
I would imagine it would cost $100-$150 to fix, but that is a wild guess (he has to find a donor metal tie down)...
