Good For Style Points If Nothing Else
I dropped by my favorite local pawn shop this afternoon to pick up some Olde Eynsford black powder that I had ordered, and there on the display floor was a large cardboard box containing several vintage leather gun cases that caught my eye. Most were in the $150-$250 price range, which was more than I would be willing to pay, but two of them that looked very well made to me were priced at just $59 each. With a bit of haggling I bought the pair for $100. Pulling a vintage Winchester out of an equally vintage leather case when arriving at a shooting match ought to be worth some style points anyway!

Look much better than what they had at the company store last time I shopped there. Don't know if the current generation is keeping up the quality at Brauer. Was very disappointed with my lace on recoil pads.

Lining on one is canvas, the other is a heavy fabric that appears to be at least partly cotton.
