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.
