those look really nice(new) in their cases.as you say a converted cutlery or cigar box suitably partitioned and lined would be a good way of displaying nice pistols like those.nothing looks quite as nice as a cased webley.

Air pistols do look good in a fitted case. I’ve scratch built a couple of wooden cases:
I built a case for an enamel finish Premier E, not as neat as your cases but it came out reasonably well:
I also built a fitted case to house my reproduction Haviland and Gunn Parlour pistol along with some darts and a copy of the Patent:
Lots more pistols that would benefit from a fitted cases but never enough time and too many other projects!
Made some from scratch, used some from collectors fairs, even tried to copy the Webley one...
Here's a Nemesis in an adapted Tempest Centennial case. It didn't need a lot of adaption, mainly several extra pads to stop the protrusions on the Nemesis marking the interior. I was able to source some fabric a very close match to the original.
Here's a yellow nemesis in the same case; I no longer have this pistol in my collection.
Posted this far too many times but this curly walnut case was the nicest case I have ever seen.
Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.

That is a nicely figured case containing one of my favourite Webley air pistols, the same sort of case I am looking for, but instead of coins I think I would have created a space for a pellet tin and enlarged the other space to take a Webley oil tin of either type.
