I've got the opportunity to provide presentation cases for some specialty engraved .45 pistols. Can anyone provide a source for a high-end product. Looking along the lines of a high gloss finish and velvet liner that can be personalized.

Let me know in the forum or PM if you want.

Thanks

Here's what I'm looking for:

Found this supplier in Alabama, Howell Display Cases. Pretty nice stuff. I'm now working on a quantity deal.

Bruce, did you look at the JDS rosewood boxes with the laser cuttable foam?

Steve,

Thanks for the suggestions! I've used their lacquer coated boxes before and am looking for something a step or two above that. Something I can use 3-D laser carving instead of just raster engraving.

I'm also pursuing local sources. Guess I should look in the other SMC forums for a local craftsman?

Thanks.

Guess I should look in the other SMC forums for a local craftsman?Mike Henderson lives in Tustin: I did some engraving for one of his boxes and he does absolutely beautiful work. Depending on how many and how fast you need them, he might be interested...can't hurt to ask.
