Replacement cost roughly $6500+.

Hand made oak and leather double rifle case with red London baize felt lining. Unused, as new. Grey elephant leather exterior. Mitred rosewood or walnut corners. (can't tell with 100% certainty) Patina performed on all brass. English push button lock. Two internal lidded compartments. Two recesses for snap caps that will accommodate 470NE, 500NE and similar.

Includes a protective canvas outer cover that has a bit of shelf wear.

Fits a side by side nitro double rifle with 24" barrels or less and a length of pull of about 14-3/4" or less. I believe it will fit a standard Heym or Krieghoff out of the box.

Will accept $2500 for the case.
 
That's a beautiful case. I have just ordered two cases in buffalo, I don't think as good a quality as yours, but the interesting point, I asked about elephant skin, price was like x4 higher.

True. Wholesale, a 16 sq. foot piece of elephant back skin is about $1000. Usually you have to buy two of them to get enough premium leather for the 10-12 sq. feet of best leather required to do a case. Lots of waste from the imperfections. In short, after the dust settles they usually want another additional $2000 or more for a case in elephant leather in the states versus a standard oak and leather case.
 
I've got meters of ele hide, can anyone tell me where I can get a case made?
 
That is a beautiful case sir.
 
Thanks rookhawk, yours is a helluva deal then!
 
Present setup:

Barrel Channel overall length: 25-1/4" total overall

Barrel Channel has a blocking to accommodate a bite or dolls head at the breech face. As such, from the blocking to the muzzle is 24-7/8" presently.

The receiver/action compartment is set to accommodate 19-7/8" Overall length from center of recoil pad to front tip of action.

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
