Where can I purchase a used one of these style cases? I've looked, maybe not hard enough, but haven't found any. I know I can buy new and may do so. Any good sources?
Thanks,
Chris

Gee, treblig, the price sure is right.
I saw a HUEY case once and then and there understood why they cost 2 or 3 grand. Then again, who in their right mind would pay 2 or 3 grand for a gun case? OK OK, I know and I've been very guilty in that department.

http://www.jeffsoutfitters.com/Jeff's Outfitters has NEW toe-under cases. Both leather and canvas. Looks like they start around $200.

I think they are a little easier to find in the UK, sold as VC cases. Frances Lovel in the UK sells refurbished cases - you might want to check with them but with shipping (and VAT?) it may not be a good deal compared to a new one from Jeff's. Lovel
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Marc, Did you see some of those side x sides he has for sale? http://www.dhshotguns.com/grade4wood.htmlThose and a nice case would go hand in hand with each other.

VC case = very compact case also known as "toe under". It became a popular case style when cars first got boots (trunks). Churchill sold many of them with his XXV guns.
I have a BMW Z3. VC cases help when space is limited.

I have a number of regular cases and one toe under case from Jeff's.
If I had it to do over, all new cases I ever buy, I would buy toe under. So much more convenient size and weight.
Thought Jeff's was good for the money but would also like to find similar design but higher quality. Not just more leather but better built.

One often sees the Parker Repro cases around. If they are used enough for you, they are pretty decent.

Trebig - No, I missed them last night. Some striking guns for sure!
