Custom Wood Cases
Just for s***s and giggles, I would like to create or purchase a custom 3-gun wood presentation case. The case would have to accommodate a Colt 1851 Navy 7 1/2", a Colt 1860 Army 8", and a Remington 1858 8". Any other partitions in the case could be used for spare cylinders, et al. All of these pistols would be modern reproductions (Uberti, Pietta, or other).
I would appreciate any leads insofar as any cabinet makers or others that might offer custom services such as this. I am getting old, love these old (new) percussion revolvers, and would like to bequeath them to my son in a respectable manner when I go to dirt. ANY references would be appreciated. Jim

My dad is a custom cabinet maker in Colorado. If that is close enough to you to be of interest PM me and I can give you his name and phone number.

I've ordered from Hampels,,,
I ordered a basic wood case,,,
And one of their Coffin shaped cases. Nice work at a price that isn't bad.  I have no experience with billscases,,, They look good but are a bit pricey for my tastes. Aarond .

Bills are about as authentic as you can get today. Yes a little pricey but like many things you get what you pay for
