I had a thread going discussing gutta percha pistol cases but got pulled because the gun was in a current auction. (hopefully mentioning the word "auction" doesn't get this one pulled too)
Anyhow, I'm curious about reproductions of these and how to tell repros from orininals. I think it was Opefec who said he has made repros?

Anyhow, over on the coltforum someone posted this very interesting link on the manufacture of these cases. Thought you might all find it interesting. I printed off a copy to keep in my Standard Catalog Of Smith & Wesson
