Kentucky Pistol Case

[bwiggins1985]

Does anyone know where I can get or find a display type case for a Kentucky pistol? Or one that will hold two Kentucky pistols like a dueling pistol case? It doesn't have to have a glass case top or anything. Something like this or one that will hold 2 of them...

I am too busy right now to make you some ,but if you go to Woodworker's Central site I am sure you could find some one to make them for you.

Dixie has quite a few of them.

I checked out Dixie and they were more of cap and ball revolver cases.. they were running about 230$. That seems really high to me.

What would they run if you built one for me?

Lots of times Goodwill, Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, Ebay etc.,. will have old empty wooden boxes from everything from cigars to shipping boxes to jewelry cases, etc. that with some TLC will shape up into fine muzzleloader display cases. You don't have to be a woodworker to refinish them and add a lining and they are usually pretty cheap. I have done this several times.

There are also tons of wood boxes with lids hinges etc On Amazon as well for under $20 sold for knick knacks, crafting, etc, some even finished and others that wlth a minimum of finishing touches would work well.

Forgot to add to the above to check at a local cigar store as they ay have something you could use for free or on the cheap

I've made several nice cases via buying an empty wood silverware case, gutting it and line it with a velour fabric from a national chain hobby shot like Hobby Lobby.

This one's $12 = S&H:

That's a great idea Pietro! That has many uses.

Thats a good idea!


How do you make the dividers and stuff like that? I get wrapping it in felt and stuff. Would you use like wood or cardboard?
