Some years ago, I acquired this case at a gun show. It's finished in black lacquer, and on its underside, it's marked "Rambo" and "Okinawa." I was impressed by the workmanship, and the highly detailed S&W monogram on the lid. Here's a picture:

It was a quality case that deserved a quality gun. Here's the logical candidate, a Smith & Wesson Model 41, shipped from the factory in May, 1972. It features the old-style long barrel, and has the cocking indicator pin at the rear.

The pair made a perfect match. I've photographed this setup before, but with superior photographic equipment now, I thought I'd trot this out as a more detailed representation. I've always been a fan of cased guns, and although this one isn't factory, I've never seen its like before, and I'm glad I chose to buy it. I think it's a quality combination.
