I actually really like the price, but not sure about ordering it from the UK.

Anyone know of a similarly priced option stateside or some place that sales these?

[Gary Rennles]

Just so everyone knows the price range, in US dollars that is about $220.82 for the case .
That's not too bad a price ...but it looks like the shipping is about $184.01 if I am reading it right.
When you add it up it comes out to about $404.83, for that amount I would think you could find a case in the USA.
others with more knowledge than me about case's might be able to direct you to one available stateside, knowing the price range.

[Steve Havener]

Have you checked out the cases Galazan's is selling?

[Rick Losey]

disclaimer - not sure (since I have deleted the emails)

but these look like ones saw on eBay a while ago, there was no mention of the frame materials and when I asked the seller what wood was used I was told it was not wood but a pressed fiber material.

like I say- not absolutely sure, but if you are going forward with it you may want to ask how the framing under the leather is constructed

[Bill Holcombe]

There is another site that has it on sale for just under $250 shipped. The Gala an cases are nice but a little pricey.

[Bill Holcombe]

Thx Osthaus, that was also part of my concern. Not a lot of product info.

[Bob Hardison]

Bill: You might try Jeff's Toe Under Case. He has several cases in different price ranges. I got the toe under and am very pleased. Plan to obtain another.

You can also call and talk to him personally. I did and he is very helpful. Bob

Sorry, all of the link did not go through. Model Number: LEACAS2045 is toe under case.

Hello Bill , There Is a Gentleman on Gun Broker that goes by the handle Yippes , I just last week bid on a case for my 32" DH 10 Ga. Two Barreled set and the case is exactly the case you have pictured except it is for two barrels ! He has a case exactly like the one pictured right now on Gun Broker , I have never dealt with this fellow before but all seems to be going well ,we have spoken and he is waiting on my check to arrive ! There is also another Gentleman on our site that has had dealings with his seller ,maybe he will chime in here also ! Just go to Gun Broker , Search Catagories and click on cases ,search Leather Cases and you will find it ! I forgot to mention ,i have most of my Parker's cased and I use Jeff's Cases ,but I needed a case that would house 32" Barrels and Jeff didn't have but a canvas and leather for it ,and I really didn't want the canvas for this particular gun ! Best ; Russ

[Bill Murphy]

The information Russ gives is the same information I would have given you but I couldn't locate contact information on the gentleman who has these great 34" barrel cases, both one set and two set. I own about nine of them and they solved many casing problems for me. Thank you, Russ. By the way, as Russ suggests, my friend's cases are almost identical to the UK cases you link, except my friend's cases come with extra felt and very nice 12 gauge snap caps. I haven't heard what exactly you are trying to case.

[Bill Holcombe]

Thanks I found it. He has 2 34" cases currently. They do appear to be very similar.

[Bob Hardison]

Russ: Went to Gun Broker , Search Catagories and click on cases ,search Leather Cases and indicated 55 items but could not locate. Know that I missed something but could you please help an old fart along? Bob

[Bill Holcombe]

Here you go Bob. Glad to be of service.

[Bill Murphy]

That's the guy I bought my cases from. They are big but wonderful. I own nine of them. They have solved my "big gun" and "two barrel set" problems.

[Russ Jackson]

Russ: Went to Gun Broker , Search Catagories and click on cases ,search Leather Cases and indicated 55 items but could not locate. Know that I missed something but could you please help an old fart along? Bob

Bob ,Sorry for not getting back to you with a link to this case but shortly after posting ,I left home and am just getting back on since yesterday ! Thank You Bill for covering for me and posting the link to these cases ! Russ

[Bob Hardison]

Russ, Bill. Those are fine looking cases. Thanks for the info. Russ, would like to how it compares with Jeff's cases when you receive it. By the the way Russ, if he will take a check, I'll pay double:rolleyes:. Bob

[Russ Jackson]

Bob ,Here's a better idea ,send him his price and send me the remainder of that double for a consultation fee !!!!!!!!!! :rotf::rotf: , Darn ,I should have sent this message in a PM ,now I suppose Mr. Murphy will want a cut !:rotf:

[Bill Murphy]

Mr. Khan is a good guy. I bought a great Model 21 from him in addition to all the cases. Luckily, he lives near me so no shipping involved.

[Jeff Kuss]

My 10 ga. Gh 6 frame gun with 34" tubes reside in one of Mr. Khan's cases.

[Leighton Stallones]

I also have a Jeffs Outfitters toe under leather case and it top quality.

[Bill Murphy]

Jeff has the right idea. Mr. Khan's cases are ideal for 34" eight gauge guns. Get them while they're hot. All of my 34" eight gauges are in these cases.

[Russ Jackson]

Well ,The Post Office has done it again ! As stated in a previous post ,last week I purchased a case from Mr' Khan and he has been waiting patiently for his check which I paid an extra five bucks for to have two day delivery ,a week and a half later and after jumping through hoops to file a lost letter report ,I finally received confirmation the check is in Oakton Va. and finally on it's way to Mr' Khan ! Thank The Lord ,it wasn't a Parker they lost for a week !!!!!!!!!!:eek:

[Dean Romig]

Maybe it's time to 'outsource' the USPS :whistle:

[Bob Hardison]

Maybe it's time to 'outsource' the USPS :whistle:

Russ: Tell Mr. Khan to go ahead and send the case because "the check is in the mail.":rolleyes: Dean: It is next to impossible for the government to allow privatization of services because they can do it better :shock:. Bob

[Russ Jackson]

Bob , I was going to mention it but I figured it wouldn't work !!!!:whistle

[charlie cleveland]

it took the post office 3 weeks to get a money order i sent to new jersey for this 3 frame ph 12 ga i just got..i was gona have a search done on it the search cost 6 dollars and then they told me it would have to be lost 30 days before they would search for the money order.then it had to be lost over 60 days to get your money back.but if some one stole the money order and got it cashed they said they would give me the name of the person who cashed it.then it would be up to me to find this fella and try getting my money back..this will be my last money order i will buy from post office...luckly my money order finally found the right place and i finally got the gun...whew charlie

[Dean Romig]

Stealing a US Postal money order and then cashing it would fall under the heading of "Fraud by US Mail" and that is a federal offense. You would not be conducting the search alone.... the FBI would be deeply involved.

[Bill Murphy]

Up for a new poster looking for a case.

[Steve Havener]

I learned my lesson on Postal Money Orders a long time ago. A gentleman sent me a Postal Money Order for a paltry $600.00. Went to the Post Office to cash it and was told they didn't have enough cash on hand to cash it and was told to come back in a few hours and they should have enough cash. 6 hours and three trips later I walked out with my cash. 1's 5's and a few 20's. Never again.

[Dean Romig]

You can cash a Postal Money Order at a bank.

[Bill Murphy]

:):):)

[Russ Jackson]

Well ,just to update , The seller did finally receive his check and I in turn received my case and it is VERY VERY NICE !!!!!!!!!!!!:) Especially with the new DH ,10 Ga/ 12 Ga.,Two barrel set inside of it ! The only problem is ,I am going to have to go to the Gym and work out a bit before carrying it around much , man is it heavy !

[charlie cleveland]

bet she looks nice in that case..you would be better off trudgeing around in the field with the 10 ga and building up your strength carry it than going to the gym...yep thats what you had better do. aint know birds in the gym.....charlie

[Russ Jackson]

Good Thinking Charlie !!!!!!!!!! I would have to carry her empty now ,Nothing in season ,but it would still be better than going to the Gym !:rotf:

When I get the urge to exercise, I lie down until the urge passes

I actually really like the price, but not sure about ordering it from the UK.

Anyone know of a similarly priced option stateside or some place that sales these?

After checking out the UK site you posted, I bought the case. It is made in the UK.

The cost delivered was $266.52, I did pay more, but after I noticed they they charged my card about $54 in VAT (sales delivered to the US are exempt) they gave me a refund the next day. 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.
