I do have the best vise ever made as a spare. Not cheap, but a fraction of the new cost. Shipping would be a lot, so I didn’t list it. Let me look at all my other gunsmiths chests and duplicate tooling and I’ll put something up.
What's left, most of it further reduced:
Item #2 - A large tapestry of a white gyrfalcon based on the art of Wolf from the Treatise Upon Falconry (Traite de fauconnerie) - $75 and FREE SHIPPING.
Item #3 - ONE copy of the limited edition of "blood knot" by Fromm. A classic fly fishing book in slipcase. I've seen these online for many hundreds of dollars each. $75 and free shipping
Item 4: A rare 1970s metal plaque with pins from the Browning custom shop. This would adorn a bespoke case for a high grade Browning. Includes the original brads. $40 delivered.
Item #5: A 1950s Winchester Pre-64 Standard Grade stock from a special order. Original pad. Longer than standard length of pull. Small crack on side was pinned by a gunsmith. $85 delivered.
Item 8: Vintage Browning Rifle Case. Has keys and original pamphlet. The rifle cases were quite rare compared to shotgun cases. Fits Browning Safari Grades, Diana, Midas, and Olympian rifles. Also fits FNs of the same era. It's a Hartmann case. Minor wear to handle that is easy to correct. Otherwise Fine+. $400 and free shipping.
Item 9: A London Made Safari Case, circa 1910. Interior gutted and ready for fitting. You can get these custom fitted for fairly reasonable money. It will fit any shotgun, double rifle, or hammer gun. Selling it for the value of the original lock! $190 delivered.
Item #10 - An American or European midcentury case suitable for a Double Rifle, Kipplauf, Take Down Rifle, or a Darne style shotgun. Can handle up to a 32" barrel! $290 delivered.
Item 11: A mid-century French, Spanish, or Belgian shotgun or double rifle case. I cannot ascertain if the ostrich leather is genuine, so I am pricing it assuming it is embossed. It can accomodate up to a 28" barrel. $165 delivered.
Item 12: A used circa 1960 English Brady Case. Label from the era when Webley & Scott was commingled with WW Greener. Can accomodate a double rifle or smallbore shotgun with 26" barrels. Quite rare! Needs minor repairs, a handle and new straps (all hardware includes) Has the keys!!!. $275 shipped.
Item 13: An identical Brady case to Item 12, but this is unused, vintage new old stock. Near mint with only 70 years of light shelf wear. You'll never find another English case of this original quality from this era. Picture also shown above for contrast with the used Item 12 case. $800 delivered.
Item 14: An very late 19th century to early 20th century British rookrifle or small bore take-down rifle case. Very rare, this one with a Scottish Mortimer vintage label affixed. In lovely condition and rarely found. $875 delivered.
Item 15: A nice American leg of mutton case. Frequently used with Model 21s, Foxes, Lefevers, and Parkers. $80 delivered.
Item 18: A rare, midcentury pistol or range case. Has the keys! Classic way to bring a few pistols to the range, or your cleaning gear and range optics. These sell for a bundle on ebay. $225 delivered.
Item 19: An antique box of shotgun shells. Great artistic style. I've seen these at gun shows from $75-$125. It has about 15 paper shells inside it as well. I have to ship it ORM-D, so I'll sell this for $40 and FREE shipping IF you buy another item as well to defray the costs.
Item 20: Rare gun case accessories. two small to medium bore jag/brushes for parker hale style rods $10, an incredibly rare oil or solvent pot from England labeled Army Navy Cooperative Society Limited for $100, a 20 bore english mop $12, , A trio of 410/28/20 gauge snap caps for $25, , and a very rare smallbore rifle cleaning rod with jag for $50. All of these items ship free if combined with another item. Otherwise $15 shipping.
Item 21: An unworn Stetson wool shooting cap in size L/XL. $50 delivered.
Item 22: An unused Garmin Explorer+ Satellite Text Messaging device. Also serves as a GPS and you can install maps. Communicate affordably anywhere in the world for a fraction of the price of a Sat phone subscription. You can also bluetooth tether your phone to it for faster texting via Sat. Has an emergency SOS feature. Has the cables and clip new in package. $260 and free shipping.
Item 23: Loaded ammo and dies. A set of 250 Savage Dies for $50 shipped. A box of Norma Alaska ammo in hard to find 9.3x57 for $60 delivered. A box of bismuth/non-tox turkey loads for $45 delivered.
Item 24: 25 caliber 87 gr hornady bullets for $30 each, a box of Speers for $25. Barnes TTSX bullets for .243/6mm for $35. and a box of .458" Hornady DGS Soids for $50. Free shipping on any of these if combined with another larger item, otherwise $15 shipping.
Item 25: A bonanza of 375 bullets. Hornady Dangerous Game Solids DGS 300gr for $50 a box, a box of Barnes TTSX 250gr $45, A box of Sierra 250gr softs for $30, a box of 300gr accubonds for $45, a box of 260gr partitions for $45, boxes of Barnes X solids 270gr for $40 each, a box of barnes round nose solids for $40, boxes of Cutting Edge 300gr solids for $65 a box. Free shipping if you combine with a larger item, otherwise $15 ship.
Item 28: Rare 12 bore, 3" Hevi-Metal Duck and Goose loads. 3" shells. They are a matrix of bismuth and steel shot and really slam the birds. 5 boxes of BB and 2 boxes of #2 for $190 delivered with free shipping. If you want odd lots, PM me and we can discuss.
Item 29,: A huge antique humidor was acquired by me about ten years ago. The prior owner stated it came originally off a 19th century steamship on the Mississippi river somewhere near Dubuque, Iowa or Galena, IL. The style is very much "campaign furniture" which makes sense since that style was common in nautical applications and on safaris. The humidor is very tall and quite substantial, made of what I believe is Mahogany but could be a type of Teak as well. The glass was definitely upgraded at some point to a very heavy multi-pane design to provide a better seal. The mortise locks were removed, but the original brass knobs are still present. It can be used as a humidor, or as a safari display case as well. It has removable fabric inserts in it presently to be used for displaying curios. I can get you actual dimensions if required, but I'd roughly say its 50"+ Tall, 18" deep, and 48" wide. Weight is probably around 100lbs. I'll sell it for $375 and will help pack and load it. You need to contact uShip and get a bid to bring it to your home. Uship is an ebay-like bidding services to bid on LTL freight and is quite reasonable.
Item 30: An ultra premium custom switch rod, 7 weight. used once successfully for tiger fishing on the Zambezi. Works just as well for steelhead, redfish, and sea trout. Has an English made Hardy Bougle reel. Loads of flies, boxes, and leaders for tiger fish. Custom leather rod tube. Custom rod with inlays of jungle cock feathers. Includes all the shooting heads and wallet. Lots of other stuff with it not pictures. Boxed and ready for shipping, relisting because buyer fell through. $3000 delivered.
