If Alec at Bacsew can't sort you out, some other people to try are manufacturers or repairers of leather goods for the Equine trade, but be prepared for high charges.

Personally, I would purchase a suitable size zip off the Bay and replace it myself - given time and patience, it cannot be that difficult, the bag is PVC material not leather, using some suitable cotton thread I would hand stitch picking up the original stitch holes in the PVC. There are all sizes/types and colours of zip on the Bay!
The bag on my Centenary had the dreaded crumbling plastic handles - it's a common one and apparently, they even can deteriorate in the box. Took me some time but I found some suitable genuine leather handles on the bay, even colour matched to the tan/brown of the bag - okay, so not 'original' but actually, they look and perform better than the originals, so okay for me!

I was fortunate in that all the Centennials I had, the three boxed ones had perfect handles and zips.
Whether the lack of exposure to sunlight helps preserve the grips, I don't know, but it would seem that if the guns and slips are used as intended, the grips deteriorate.

How about DRC Racing leathers, Grange Lane Business centre, Sheffield, as Lewis Leathers are no more?
