<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 456539, member: 54&quot;]I bought one in Karachi, 1979.&nbsp; There were dozens of styles to choose from, mine has three drawers across top, two in next row, one on bottom.&nbsp; Drawer Handles are brass ormolu?, stirrup-shaped.&nbsp; Wood same as OP’s, but more brass inlay all over.&nbsp; I just looked at it, would get pic but I’d have to move some things.&nbsp; Same size as op’s.&nbsp; These were very well-made, well-finished; mine looks like day I bought it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The funny story about mine is that the store did a fantastic job of packing it, took a while to do, and I was confident the extensive packing would protect it on the Navy destroyer’s long and probably stormy trip back to SC, USA.&nbsp; I got a taxi back to the pier and carried the heavy package across the quarterdeck, greeted by the watch officer, a Chief Fire Controllman in my Department.&nbsp; As the Senior Watch Officer, I had given instructions that all packages carried aboard must be checked for contraband (drugs were a big problem in Karachi.)&nbsp; He did his duty and cut off all the neat cardboard and paper packaging, then opened each drawer.&nbsp; A bit disappointing, but he was obeying my orders to the letter![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
