Rookhawk: I hope that your case turns out better than mine did. I bought what was a very nice cased William Ford 12 bore at auction in the U.K. and had it shipped to Charlotte, NC. A company which calls itself CVI International, Inc. was put in charge of handling the shipment. Somewhere along the line two of the fou digit serial numbers were transposed and after paying CVI some exorbinant fees I was told that the gun was placed in storage with some company called CFS Logistics, Inc. deliverd by yet another company called Optimum Transportaional, LLC of Gastonia, NC.
Long story short between the three of them and the Customs Agent whose name I forget my gun was STOLEN in that the storage charges eventually exceeded what the gus is worth.
Moral of this story is if you are importing a gun from England, do not have it sent to Charlotte. Use someone like Diggory Hadoke to get your gun over here for you if the seller does not provide a guaranteed delivery service.
JMHO Best Regards, George
