Hi,
There is a lot to building a good case.

The case hooks were cast. I carved them in wax based on an original set. Then cast them using the Delft clay system.

I think many folks don't realize that these cases were not for displaying the pistols but for transporting them safely. As such, the walls of the compartments for the pistols are shaped like a "V" with a flat botttom so the guns are snugly cradled in place and don't move. Finally, each case was supplied with a leather traveling cover.

And a leather protective cover no less. A true gentleman's accessory. Incredible workmanship Dave. Just stunning.

Hi Toot.

Yes, it's a different variation of the so called water-proof pan. I've only seen one or two others like it.

Rick-thanks for the come back. surprised no one else saw it as an inventive way for a water proof pan?
 
Hi Pukka ! How have you been ?

Two nice pistols for sure!! I've always had a soft spot for these smoothbore flint pistols. And I've always thought the English made the best looking pistols.
