Be sure mention the VAT and to use a credit card that does not charge for foreign transactions, or add another 3%.
The case arrived wrapped in one thin layer of cardboard, but was unblemished.
If you buy one get ready for some weight. My postman, who delivers a lot of gun catalogues and an occasional long gun here was sure it contained a shotgun. I thought the same as I hefted the case and had a brief fantasy that they had included a Purdy Best Grade 20 G inside as a measure of thanks to the Yanks.
No such luck, this boy empty tips my bath scale at 12.8 pounds. I figure it has a thick wood frame. The leather is saddle thickness and of high quality.
I would recommend the case if you are not concerned about the weight.
