Both are very nice cases. He is a true artist! Does he still include the lighter color of the earlier case as an option?

So I am at Marvin's a couple years ago and he is repairing a double rifle case. Its old, beat up , seen a lot of hard use. The case has the following initials on its top:


B. v B.


I knew instantly what it was, and I'll see who else does.

Wonder if Homer ever got a chance to shoot with him? In the movie they only met briefly.

The B v B are the initials of Bror von Blixen, an Africaaner professional hunter memorialized in Out of Africa . His working rifle and its case are now owned by a US collector .
