Custom Oak & Elephant Leather Double Rifle Case

[rookhawk]

Replacement cost roughly $6500+.

Hand made oak and leather double rifle case with red London baize felt lining. Unused, as new. Grey elephant leather exterior. Mitred rosewood or walnut corners. (can't tell with 100% certainty) Patina performed on all brass. English push button lock. Two internal lidded compartments. Two recesses for snap caps that will accommodate 470NE, 500NE and similar.

Includes a protective canvas outer cover that has a bit of shelf wear.

Fits a side by side nitro double rifle with 24" barrels or less and a length of pull of about 14-3/4" or less. I believe it will fit a standard Heym or Krieghoff out of the box.

Will accept $2500 for the case.

That's a beautiful case. I have just ordered two cases in buffalo, I don't think as good a quality as yours, but the interesting point, I asked about elephant skin, price was like x4 higher.

True. Wholesale, a 16 sq. foot piece of elephant back skin is about $1000. Usually you have to buy two of them to get enough premium leather for the 10-12 sq. feet of best leather required to do a case. Lots of waste from the imperfections. In short, after the dust settles they usually want another additional $2000 or more for a case in elephant leather in the states versus a standard oak and leather case.

Huey cases. Around $4000 if you supply the hide.
