Thank you, Ed, Marc and Jerry. I don't have unrealistic expectations as to the retail value vs. pristine examples, but I did want to get a feel for how the dirt and insect damage on the negative side compared to the apparently unused and correct condition on the plus side. I had hoped I might get $300-$400 if I could time it right and find a buyer looking for that year, mark, etc. Would a good cleaning, spot re-dye and leather treatment add or detract from the value?

Jerry, given my poor photo skills, if you want I could take measurements of the case for you if you feel it's something unusual. I might even consider sending it to you for examination prior to listing for sale here in the hope you find some small factor that increases it's value. Let me know what you think...thanks.
