A beauty to be sure. Of all the cases I have seen, yours is in the finest condition of all.

Some of the cases are missing the two loops in the middle of the body of the case, thus 6 loops versus 8 loops. Both variations seem to be valid. Brophy describes them as being black, but I am yet to see a black case. All so far appear to be a russet (brown) color. At least one I have seen was re-issued (two names/two serial numbers). I presume someone flunked the class.

I am still trying to discover who purchased Bill Brophy's scope case.

Thank you, Tom.
