    Very nice - I should make a display case like that to show mine off!

    Nice to see them all together. Somehow I don't think the new Typhoon would look right among those classics.

    Patrick,

    It is made from a piece of 70's style modular furniture, the name of which escapes me. I used it because it has sliding glass doors - removed for photography purposes - with the bottom tracks recessed in the wood.
    I cut it in half as it was too deep, and used a piece of 1/2" ply as a backboard to take the mounting hooks, and used 'Fablon' baize as a backing.
    I have a couple more similar display cases with other Air Gun stuff in them.

    Wow !
    That's an outstanding collection of classic Webley air pistols and the presentation case is fantastic. I love these old Webley air pistols and have quite a few myself and I think you have just inspired me to keep collecting them.
