JB Cases said:Your wish is my command. I will send you pix shortly and you can be the first one to own such a case. Price $400 shipped.
The cases you see with the Instroke style are essentially Instrokes with heavy tooling. Because this pattern is so busy and because I already have the dies for it I decided early on to use it to train my toolers. I have about four more or so of these "Instroke style" cases to put up on the website and then no more will be made except on request.
Then you will see more of the Rolls Royce style and other hybrid designs coming out. You'll see influences from a lot of case makers, inlcuding case makers from other fields. Basically, all the cases I have studied for the last fifteen years will be included in the new patterns.
The "heavy tooling" however is where the cost is on these cases. You are definitely paying for the work involved in the surface decoration and the design time that went into it. So whether it's on an Instroke pattern or a hybrid of other cases or a completely new design, the more intricate tooling there is then the more the case cost.
Perfectly clarified and i will be honored to get the Rolls Royce
