Another box reflocked by Joe Cebull

[jcelect]

Electric case?

Actually I spend the last part of my electrical career working on a local NASA station as a High Voltage lineman. I incorporated some of this high voltage experience into an anti-theft device for the guns stored in the S&W presentation cases. To date I have sold only one of the cases. I am waiting for an email from the collector that bought it as it was shipped over a month ago! I wish he would email me with his opinion of the device. Would anyone else like to try one?

Thanks to all that have pumped my ego!

Just got my 27-2 case back from Joe. Just a couple of complaints here:
His restoration work is way to perfect. His communication is way to good. His turn around time is way to quick. Lastly, his prices are way to reasonable.
So, if you don't mind dealing with these issues, by all means send him your nasty, old presentation cases

Well done, Joe!
Regards,
Tom

The pithy little 640 I'm customizing didn't come with a pre-case although I may well have one made. You know, just something to pass down to my kids.

Would anybody care to offer an opinion on what one of these presentaion cases for a 4" would be worth when it only has the plastic liner? The wood looks good.

cases

My wife (for whatever reason) decided to re-do two of my M629 cases. I informed her that jcelect does them for next to nothing. Still, she wanted to try it. First one turned out just "ok". I emailed the gentleman and asked a few questions. The time he must have taken to answer the questions and send some info.......well, he probably could have done a restoration on one! To the point, he was incredibly friendly and beyond helpful. She did the second case and then re-did the first one again. Came out absolutley great due to his generosity. I feel somewhat guilty. Again, a very nice fellow and thank you, sir.

Send it to Joe and he will restore it for $35.00 plus shipping then you'll have a very nice case.

What time period is it from?

Joe gladly accepts donations.

Joe,
If the case was originally for a gun with an 8 3/8 inch barrel, can it be modified to fit a 6 inch barrel?

I'm not sure how to tell, it was offered to me to purchase and I thought it might be a good candidate to send to Joe. I have a 4" Mod 29-3 that would fit in it.

Another cudoo to Joe. He reflocked my Model 57 presentation case and it looks better than it did new! Man, its so pretty. Still haven't put the Model 57 in it yet, don't want to stain the flocking. I just leave it laying open on my desk so I can admire it.

Many thanks Joe for a great product, a great price, and fast shipping!

Recently had Joe restore two presentation case liners.
Wow! What a fantastic job.
If you want it done right, he is the MASTER.

Out of ignorance I must ask. What does this do to the value of the box? Is it supposed to be seamless from the original? Or do you disclose this when/if you resell


I only ask because I just bought a beautiful 29-2 and the box has two slight holes from wear.

I appreciate any response

It will definitley hurt the resale value of the box.Hardcore collectors want EVERYTHING to be 100% original.I would not feel right selling a re-flocked box as original and most collectors spending the big bucks for mint guns can spot re-work from a mile away.In NO way am I taking away from the awesome work he does.If your case is as bad as some pictured in this thread than by all means have it done,But if it is just a little rough around the edges it's best to leave it alone.If your box is junk and you have it re-flocked it will add $35 to the value of the box,The cost of the work.These boxes are 40yrs old plus you can't expect them to be perfect.
