Types of Cases
Solid Top Cases
Solid top cases are available in a variety of stock sizes. Case size depends on the overall size of the items being housed inside it. In general, the case needs to be 3 inches larger then the overall weapon or item configuration. As with any of our cases, custom sizes are also available.
Example: A standard size 1911 will fit in a 12 inch case, but a 1911 and 2 magazines will need a 16 inch case.
Solid top cases offer the option of engraving or carving images on both the interior and exterior surfaces of the lid. A very popular option available is the addition of an Interior Glass Dust Lid.
Stock sizes are 12,14,16, and 18 inches by 9 inches.

Kearsarge Style Cases
The Kearsarge Style Cases are created using one block of wood, and availability of them is dependent on finding the right size block. Typically we are able to find the appropriate pieces in Walnut, Cherry, and Mahogany. On very rare occasions the right piece of Maple Burl will surface.
Wait times for Kearsarge Style Cases can range from 3 months to a year. Please call us for availability and details.
