    I have one left from a batch I sold last year. It's not an original but it's good enough for a stop gap until you find something better. I think I was asking £25 posted. I'll try and dig out the old thread for you.
    Remember, it is the strongest character that God gives the most challenges.

    Be prepared to pay around the £450 + for either an empty genuine Webley Pre-War Canvas & Leather or Post-War Rexine example. Either original case complete with Senior, Valvespout Oil Can & god pre-war pellet tin will probably cost over £1k.
    A very good Canvas & Leather replica made by Dave Lewis can be purchased for around half that price, or sometimes less on Eb@y.

    Why not make your own? Here is one I did for a Walther LP53.

    If you've got the required skills, why not, but I prefer the open style rather than the enclosed foam type, as some foams tends to degenerate over a period of time.
    Very nice outer case though.

    I have made compartment cases as well, (English Style), but to me the French Style fitted case looks cleaner and protects the gun and accessories much better because they can't move around. As you can see I used styrofoam because it carves well and holds the items very tightly. As far as it degenerating, below is a local University's estimate of the decomposition of various materials. At a million years I think I and my heirs are safe!

    Banana Peel: 3-4 weeks
    Paper Bag: 1 month
    Cardboard: 2 months
    Wool Sock: 1 year
    Tinned Steel Can: 50 years
    Aluminum Can: 200-500 years (But if recycled, it can be reused within 6 weeks!)
    Disposable Diapers: 550 years
    Plastic Bags : 20-1,000 years
    Plastic Jug: 1 million years
    Glass: 1-2 million years
    Styrofoam: 1+ million years
