    I'm not really a fan of repro cases but this ones looks gorgeous and certainly enhances a lovely pistol.

    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.

    It is interesting to see in all the above great cased examples that the favourite type of internal fitting is the 'English style', with individual compartments. I suppose that it is more appropriate for vintage British pistols. In the case of my repro' Webley Mercury I decided to go for the 'French style', as I like the extra protection it gives. It doesn't look too out of character if the pistol is more modern.

    Stunning example, sets it off beautifully. Would you have any idea where I could source 2 labels from please?

    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.

    I never get tired of looking at how people box or store their guns. Ingenious some of them... my favourite would have to be the walnut box with coins, if I live long enough I will get around to copying that idea.

    Yes l would have done the same as you say. it would have been more in keeping. but each to their own.

    Not as smart as the others, but it at least it matches the condition of the pistol.

    Bloody hell Lodmor that pic should be marked not safe for work I let out a "Corr look at that" which brought a gaggle of expectant drivers to my screen.... not what they were expecting!
    Not sure what Pistol that is Abas but I now want one-what model of Tell is it? It looks top!

    Hi,
    It’s an early and rather tired a Tell 3, but still shoots quite well for its age.
