It's George by Brunswick is the final production version, until Mike Roberts restarted making. The earlier versions do not have the end cap banding, and more variety of textured leather. Vinyl covered ones don't have a key and also marked on the endcap with a V. Early 2000-up to 2010, you could still easily find these at reasonable prices. Ken Kerner offered me one for my birthday, still had the newspaper stuffed in. I kick myself for not taking up the offer, but my wallet needed to recover from 1x2 black fellini that I bought from him.
FWIW, these are well made cases. On level ground my case will stand on its own. My every day carry is 2x4 version for the last 15 years. I bought mine used, and reckon it already had at least 10 years on it.
