I have 3 actual Pietta 1851 Navy type pistols that I can swap parts within the 3 to create a few more Italian historical repros.
I finally bit the bullet and ordered 2 oak wood cases from Hampel's so the pistols were not just lying around on the coffee table. Each case will hold two revolvers facing each other.

This is the best deal I have come upon.
Old South Firearms has 2 factory second glass top cases with no refunds: I guess you get what they send you, and I am not so good with that.

The price was right but they wanted $64 shipping! I decided against it.
When I get the Hampel's product I will do a review with pics. I have heard good things about Hampel's on other forums.
I would have liked to do a couple of double compartmentalized cases from Bill's Cases, but it is out of my price range. Bill does make some excellent cases, make no mistake, and if you want that, go for it. I have no personal knowledge of Bill's product but his photos show excellence.
Hampel's produces a different product and he suits my needs.
I would like to hear from anyone that had experience with either of these two suppliers.
Thanks in advance.
