Purchased this bag years ago. I used it a handful of times in 2016-2017 with the intent of using it much more... which never happened. It's a truly beautiful bag. Very heavy duty with thick leather padding on the back and bottom (nearly 1/8" thick). As much as I'd love to hang onto it, it just never gets used. As with all Saddleback products, it comes with their 100-year guarantee. Still in great condition. Given that and the rarity of the bag, price is firm. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thanks
