Hi Doc Zak, I have a Star 7823E, The leather is a little dark but in holding up great. The fake mouton was replaced with russet real mouton,also wool knits and a new zipper since the old ones were trashed. From what I understand, the leather itself is the importand thing and the E model has great leather IMHO. The liner was in perfect shape on mine too. Hope that helps. W.N.
