yeah, I paid £69 for it 6 months ago, I wanted £40-£45 and then someone emailed me to say they were that cheap new on eBay so I had a f**k it moment, but I can't see em that cheap on fleaby. I couldn't find a way to delete the thread, being dim I suspect, so offers basically.

they're very nice. As good I'd say, just not mad in England. The leather is around 3/16"-1/4" thick, the sides fold underneath and are riveted to stop them spreading and the metalwork/rivets is all very nice

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
