Christiaan,
Are those the somewhat "Bulbous" leather handles? If so, I need one for my BR-1 amp.

John,
You don't want the EH-150 handle for the BR-1.

Richard,
What should the correct handle look like?

I'll try to post some pictures this week. They are typical postwar Gibson handles.

I suppose there are no reproductions available?

... or have any competent leather shop make you one... it might cost a bit more, but I guarantee it will be nicer... and classier!
