No matter how good any of them look, don't be thinking you can just put them into the airline system as baggage unless you make a very hvy cardboard cover and encase it in fibre tape. I've had the leather slit deeply, latches ripped off because they're all just nailed on and the nails aren't long enough to be bent over on the inside, and a wrist strap ripped right out of the carcass.... that all in one trip to Montana. When I travel with guns now I use my Americase, which would could likely run over with a D-7 without hurting the gun inside.
