As a further comment, UK eBay currently has a mint light tan hard case with
the original box (looks like LNIB to me), price is up to £82GBP (130USD
!!), with 17 hours left

I have seen OM-1's with a good case selling for less than this!

About 15 months ago I bought an OM-1 (#9342xx), that had the light tan hard
case. The woman who sold it to me said that she bought it new with the case
in 1976, as far as I remember. It was a pretty good deal, as I also got a
75-150 Zuiko zoom, and an unused third party 28mm, all for 100USD
equivalent. She had hardly used the camera for the last twenty years.

John, No numbers on the case or the box. Box only says, "Hard Case",
that's all. I have no idea when this case was offered new. When I got a
new case I had the option of black hard case and semi hard with pebble
grain. Both with the bottom screw mount. I opted for the semi hard which
is still on my OM1. The last and only time I bought a new case was in
1976 :>)
