If you're talking about eBay item #160538269691, I believe that's one of those that were on sale at Riv's garage sale.
The garage sale green tweed country bags have the dowel on the main flap. The "normal" ones (which I have a copy but it's not in tweed) has the dowel slightly further inside the bag, and not on the main flap. In the second picture of the eBay auction, one can clearly see that the dowel is on the flap and not hidden inside and behind the secondary closure flaps with the bungee cord. I don't think it's really just an aesthetic difference. Having the dowel on the main flap may introduce functional issues (minor or otherwise) because the main attachment points of the bag are then located on a moveable flap. That means some extra stress is put on the main flaps quick-release tabs. OK, maybe it's not that bad since the attachment points are really close to the pivot but it's certainly not optimal. -B -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
