Found a Davidoff Humidor at a Flea Market - Need Help.

Hey everyone! I am new to this forum, and I really think that I am going to love it here.

I have a question about a humidor that I recently found at a vendor at Scott's Antique Market in Atlanta, Ga.

It is a Davidoff No. 800 Natural Mahogany humidor circa 1987 which was purchased at the Davidoff Store of London. I have enough documentation to prove the origin and the it's own authenticity - but I have some questions/concerns about the Humidor, and I was wondering if anyone here could offer forth some advice.

Here we go:
The Humidor itself has not been used in a long time, so the bronze handles have tarnished (not a real problem), and the seal on the humidor seems to have loosened a little (it still passes the "dollar" and the "swoosh" test). Does anyone here know a good place to have this sent off to have it restored? Will Davidoff do this?

Here is my biggest concern: it is NOT lined with spanish cedar, and it actually appears to be some other sort of wood (I hope it is not a veneer [if it is, the previous owner must have done this and used it as some sort of silver storage -only my guess-]) I will include a picture of the inside, hopefully someone here will have an explanation for the inner lining not being made out of Cedar or Honduras Mahogany.

PS: What seems to be damage in the interior is actually just dried cigar leaves that had collected at the bottom of the humidor. The inside is in perfect condition, besides the possibility of a rogue wood.

Thanks for any help guys/gals!
