Iv'e come across a few pre-war canvas cased pistols, but haven't seen many of the post-war variant. Is this just me, or are they rarer than the extremely rare pre-war cases ?

Regards

I thought the webley pistol cases inside baze are green not blue?

Both post war 'Rexine' cases I've seen have green lined interiors, and should have a large either black on gold or gold on black label in the lid, and both were slightly different in construction and inner layout, as well as having differing labels.
I suspect the case shown has been relined, and it would appear the lid label is missing.
I think they are scarcer than the pre-war canvas/leather cases, as the quality is not the same and fewer were sold, but in original condition, they still fetch similar prices when offered for sale.
