This is the gun USPS lost. I had this case made for it and pretty happy how it turned out. I saw a post recently where someone had made a beautiful case for his Parker and wondering if there are a few more out there

Beautiful case. I like that you didn't line the inside of the lid. Why the extra lock set?

It is pretty common on high end English and Italian side locks, and I happened to have a set.

That' one serious slab of walnut for the lid.

Doncha love it when a guy just happens to have an extra pair of high grade locks just hanging around?

That's a beautiful case. Those Philips head screws are gonna drive Dean crazy.
I like the French edging around the spare locks. Very time consuming to make those.

Good luck with that, David. I've been checking my mailbox every day, and still haven't gotten mine. Maybe because my hinge takes 32 screws.
Jamestown distributors has them. I think I should have used #3 but the #4 barely sticks up, and no one but Dean will notice.
