I buy from prokraft, I was looking for that exact same catch at the start of the year and could not find it.
Would you care to share the thickness of the leather and the adhesive used?

Where did you get the Neumann badge? That sort of thing tends to fall into the 'hen's teeth' category.
Lovely job.

The difficult part is not getting any glue on the outside of the leather and making sure the cuts are just right...
