better decal pics needed. It could be a good one. Liner looks odd, it's pigskin but looks strange

I won't comment on the decal, but leather that's been in a bog for years will go black like this, that part of the story could be true.

+1. Bogs really preserve the leather. This one however is exceptional and the best I have ever seen. Gets my spider senses tingling though - Looks almost too good. But can't judge from photos. So will assume the story is true if the decal checks out.

If so...Congrats Pitbull.

The liner really is in great condition - stitching all intact, no wear to the rim of the leather where it is folded over, no stretching to the air holes.
Is this too good to be true?

The second set of pics of the decal are still not discernible enough to say definitely good or bad. When I try to enlarge, they get blurry. But nothing about the decal is screaming "fake" at this stage. Better close ups in a "macro" mode would be needed to be positive. See attached
