Leather Handle Integrity: The leather handles on these boxes are prone to rotting or snapping. Because the original leather handle is present and unbroken, it retains its value far better than those requiring replacement canvas or reproduction handles.
Internal Dividers: The internal wooden dividers and wool pads meant to separate the 15 individual mags are still intact inside the box.
