.......Been thinking about the leather handle. Has to be yellow........

Not sure your handle used to be yellow or if it has just faded since the end pieces still look to be dark brown.  Replacing these handles pose some problems themselves.  The first is it's difficult to find a handle as thick as the original.  The second issue is how to actually mount it.  You either have to drill out the 4 rivets and replace them with blind brass screws (also hard to find), or drill out the center and also try to replace with something like a blind screw.

My bomber (7G605) is missing the handle, and while some decent reproductions were available at one time they weren't exact and have since disappeared.  I finally bought a sailboat donor at Kutztown that has the exact same handle but until I find a suitable way to mount it, it remains in a holding pattern.
