The ones on mine were an orangey brown plastic which were undamaged but I've since heard of a lot that cracked and broke because the plastic used was unstable and they fell apart. Never seen one like that though.

Thank you for the reply.

Here's a close up of a Centenary carrying handle:



I've had several boxed examples and fortunately they all had perfect handles.
I believe exposure to sunlight causes these handles to deteriorate.

This.
I suspect some have already been replaced by something longer lasting.
To me this shouldn't effect value as the originals are all going to break up, and done well a replacement is a plus.
