Received my order from Murray Leather today! Rifle cases, pistol cases, and two duffel bags from my Zim hippos. Incredible looking Leather and Dick Murray makes some nice stuff!

Looks really nice! Are the bags pretty heavy?
 
Really good looking gear. And yes the guys at Murray definitely know their work.

A friend in RSA had a case made with hippo that had also been dyed black. The scars on the hide added some incredible character. They are pretty evident on your tan case as well. Really nice.

Who tanned the hide for you?
 
Very nice Philip.
 
Those look great!
 
Dick Murray makes the best stuff.
 
Does the hide have texture? Close up please!
 
Did you have the hippo hide tanned there or here?
 
Looks great, Phillip! I am having my buffalo back skin tanned now from my trip in May and Murray's is on my list to get a quote on rifle cases.

TCI in Bulawayo did the tanning
 
Looks great!

I've got to get something done with my hippo hide. It's tanned, just haven't decided what I'm doing .
 
Like the look! Thanks for sharing
 
Very high quality goods! Love it!

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
