World's Coolest Safari Internet Yard Sale - Part II (Guns & Cases)

PMs sent to @Nevada Mike and @double rifle newbie if you’d like to contact me with gun measurements and I can real time walk through what I have or we can video chat so you can see similar guns in the cases to visualize fit.

I think I have the perfect case for the Lindner, one of the hardest cases to find as Germans didn’t do Brit style cases for them, the American importers did.
 
@VertigoBE and @Bob Nelson 35Whelen . I know you’re both long-term members of the forum so you’re not working some elaborate international scam. I would be willing to sell them to you both but I would need to have an agent of yours pick them up or ship them to a US agent.

Put another way, I’m not smart enough to get items to Belgium or Australia, but if you have someone that can do that for you in the States, I’d be happy to send something to them.

I think I’m not smart enough to work some elaborate international scam! :D

Do you have any cases with Mauser on them ?
I’ll find out about my rifles length as well when I have some time tomorrow.

However I do not know anyone in the us who could forward. Let’s first see if there is an item and a deal. We’ll figure the logistics out later.
 
.410 was sold to @Randy F and rifle slip sold to @Nevada Mike

Found a few other cases floating around too. I have a very rare Purdey motor case for a pair of guns (or a single action and two barrels). Exterior of motor case is embossed with the Purdey details. (a rare example of a case actually made specifically for a maker)
 
Hello Everyone,

A quick update as I did a bit of cleaning up on cases and a few sales happened.

What I have available:

Green Canvas and Leather Brady Case - New Old Stock. Plum Baise interior. Never held a gun before. Made circa 1965. Leather maker’s label (you can remove it, they are valuable in their own right) for Webley & Greener (combined entities at that time). The case will accommodate a 24“27” side by side double rifle or 28 gauge / .410 shotgun. It’s the finest example of new old stock you’ll find anywhere.

A mid-century canvas shotgun case. Olive canvas, leather corners. Straps need replacement. Will accommodate 25-27.5” 12/16/20 gauge shotgun or a double rifle.

1905-1930 True double rifle case for a 26” barreled double rifle. Originally a .333 Jefferey Rimmed. Best quality. Purpose built double rifle Cases are extremely rare. Red baize interior. No Makers label evidently ever applied.
