<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 116393, member: 360&quot;]Hi AF, </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes I get your point. I have seen MANY with black lacquer, so it surprised me when these didn&#039;t have any. I wondered about the leather coverings, purely because the glare shields on this are SO clean. There was no grime or glue-residue or anything on them to suggest that they once had a covering of some sort. </p><p><br /></p><p>I assume that you are probably correct, though, and that these likely had leather, that the leather rotted and dried and fell off, and that the seller polished the brass to clean it up, rather than put on new leather.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
