With respect to swissaire's prior post, these pieces were new in the store. I don't believe it was a rub mark. When I first saw it, I thought it was a problem with the paint as if it was a drip, because it had a certain three dimensionality to it. Every Limbo 880.73.xx.4 which this shop had on display had the same problem irrespective of colour. I did not inspect the inside of the shell so I can't say whether it went all the way through the polycarbonate shell or not. Also other Limbo pieces in different sizes did not have this same irregularity.

I am still favoring the Limbo. However, I plan on checking around in other shops to see if I can find pieces without this possible irregularity. If it is present I will certainly try to inspect the inside. That of course assumes the lining opens up in some fashion.

Also not this irregularity is fairly subtle. I believe I spotted it only because of the glaring overhead lighting in the show room. In the wild, I suspect it wouldn't stand out or be as visible.
