Is that JB History case in the last picture for sale?

I agree 100 percent, but when people start accusing him of using someone else's for sale pictures when he didn't, that's a problem.

To help settle any problems with the pictures that were used, this case was built for mikesky. These are my pictures I sent to Mike when I originally built the case.

PM sent.

That's a beauty!

I always wondered where that case got off to, that was tough to build.

Looks a lot like a model H-L.

If it's one of Jack's cases it's made using Wicket and Craig veg tanned leather. I don't believe Jack would ever use anything other than leather, he was very proud of his work and wouldn't have done anything to jeopardise his reputation.

In 2007 I bought a 2x4 with extra tooling, two pockets, shoulder pad, diamonds in the pockets and it was 725 shipped.

I think Billy Burke might do that.

The OP owns it now, I was just posting a picture of it in different lighting.

I don't think most people have any idea how long it takes to build a case, lots of steps and lots of waiting on things to dry are involved. I had guys think it only took two days to build a fully carved case, it takes that long to draw the pattern.

I had one exactly like that one, minus the logo.
