I also remember the Optima GC gunbags. IIRC they were advertised as “PVC leather” or something like that. So not leather.[/QUOTE]

Zip broke on mine on the way back from Bisley in '82. Tied it up with a shoe lace. Cops asked me what was in the bag at a train station in London on my way home . Told them it was my airgun and that was OK. I was 16... The barrel was poking out the end! Optima replaced the bag as it was under a year old.
