I'll have to get a flight over to uk for the car-boot sales, ones over here are overpriced + anything decent they'll try and charge more than you'd buy it in a shop for that flask is in the william powell catalogue + is described as; "Marlborough Premier Leather Case Bar Set Product code: FC204 Price: £129.99 Premier quality hand crafted case in leather.
