I just got this today. Its a 1916 HOHMANN & SOHN. The overall leather condition is really nice...supple...not dried out. Its obviously been repaired, but not too badly it seems to me. Its missing the pull up strap, and the belt loops are sewn a little too tight to slip on a period German belt. I'd like those items taken care of, along with a section of the top flap which looks to have some loose stitching. The buckle tab is somewhat cracked on the outside, but it doesn't go deep. I think it would hold up well as long as someone didn't jerk it extremely hard. All in all though, it looks to me to be in pretty good shape for almost 100!
