I got the same one off eBay un used. The yellow color is much darker than the pics and so is the leather buckle guard. Also the stamp date is pre war dated. Its ok for what it is but I have never really handled an orig B-3. I would consider getting a real one and getting a B-4 instead.

I want to lighten the leather front part. Would that be re dyeing it? Would it work the same as doing it on a jacket? Any ideas? I would also re do the inspection stamp date.

As soon as I receive it, I'll tell you about dyeing as I will see more clearly leather quality
