I love that there is a company called "The American Handle Company".
No reason for a clever name, huh?

Heres Stu and I`s version of the lid label. The Kanji is a direct translation of the english. If someone can have a crack at the mystery label on the side of the box and post it on a clear background, we would have a complete set of part fantasy part correct Overthruster case labels.

Just won this on eBay. Vintage Vietnam era Zero case.
Not as close as the new ones, but close enough for my use.
Measures 7 1/4 x 6 1/4 x 4 inches. It will need a handle, a pair of hinges, and a paintjob, but for $17 ??:cool

Mr Webber,
As to your question about the mystery label on the side, I first thought of this image.
I don't think it's the right one anymore but unless someone comes up with something else, I'm still considering it. This image came from the RPF's own Guy Cowan. Guy told me it is a scan from a decal on the B-Wing model from Return of the Jedi. Anyone have any thoughts on what it might mean? Or how it would look on the case here?
And Mr Webber, thanks for all of the hard work you two have put into the labels.
Ted.

I'm working with Mr Webber on a logo with Japanese text at the moment. Stay tuned. One real logo I found that looked kinda in the same ballpark was the old Toyota logo, but it's definitely not THE ONE:
This one's even less correct, but it's so cool, I just had to post it:

How do people feel about the Handle Style 321 at Flat Handles Seems to be spot on for right design. Maybe a tad long, but close enough for my tastes.

Went in with Ted to get my case before the group effort came about and it arrived a couple of days ago. Had some free time and made a start, first thing was to remove the existing handle, had to drill them out, pop rivet style. Then gave it a coat of Nato Green over Olive Drab as it is a fraction lighter. Obviously still lots to do. Have searched a lot for handles and Kerrs option looks like the best for sure.

Stromo,
Very interesting finds on the 'alternate' logos. Fun to see different ideas.
Kerr Avon,
Great find on the handle. My only question is do you know the actual size of it? I'm having a difficult time reading the specs. But it seems like the overall length might be just under 7 inches. If that is the case, it will be too long. Looking at the screen caps with the thumb next to the handle, I'm guessing it is 5 inches, just like the current handle. The case itself is only 6 3/4 inches across. You noted it might be too long but I'm just wondering if you have hard numbers. It's a nice looking handle.
