This case is brand new - I removed it from the original Hatrmann box and plastic to take pictures.  It is an older (and I believe better) version of the case now selling for $1750 on Hartmann's website. 

Hartmann Belting Leather for Sophisticated Travel

The Hartmann Belting Leather Collection is a luxurious luggage collection that exudes refined style with all the signs of higher quality. Hartmann Belting leather comes in two sumptuous shades: Natural Belting Leather and Black Belting Leather. These leather luggage pieces can be found in several styles, as well, including business cases, wallets and a variety of accessories such as cell phone carriers, passport holders, business card cases and eyeglass holders.

The leather luggage in the Belting collection is known for its beauty, which takes on a shiny surface finish with age and use that is actually quite sought after. Hartman Belting Leather is made from the finest North American steer hides, which are vegetable tanned and hot stuffed to give the luggage superior abrasion resistance and durability. From luggage accessories to the modern business briefcase to small leather goods, Belting Leather represents classic taste and elegant design.
