    Identify this pistol case! Please!

    Hello Collectors,

    Can anyone identify this pistol case for me please. Its very old, probably hand made and a one off. But I would love to know what pistol its actually for before I let it go.

    Pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/3035808...7623007566843/
    (click on the pictures for larger ones)

    It was given to me by a now defunct air and rimfire pistol club.

    Many Thanks!

    Adam

    Hi. Yep, looks like a hand made one off to me, too, and going by the cut-out, possibly for a Diana Mod.5 pistol ??? ... Best guess . Atb: G.

    This case has been an ongoing mystery for many years!! I cant bear to chuck it away as someone spent major effort constructing it!

    I think its for a Diana/Original model 6 actually. In one of the pics it looks like a depression for the pinion cap in the lid.

    Do you have a price in mind?
