I've got a 3rd-hand Halliburton case from the 60s(?) and love it. The main issue is that it really freaks out flight attendants on international flights, because everyone knows that you put bombs in aluminum briefcases.

I thought that the iconic shady association with Halliburton cases was cash for illicit transactions, per TV Tropes: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BriefcaseFullOfMoney http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BriefcaseFullOfMo...

  Yes they are the iconic "spy attaches" from TV and movies. They are also very iconic of the luxury early trans atlantic and early jet age era of air travel. Halliburton used to make some really good luggage today I don't really know, I'm all for buying good luggage it's one of the reasons that I buy samsonite they last for years and even decades but 1200$ on a suitcase is beyond what I would ever be willing to spend especially considering that there are better and cheaper options out there.
