Ideas for items for a fancy handgun case

[FerFAL]

I’ve wanted one for a while and know I’d like to get started with this little project.
I wanted something like a small version of a safari case, with some retro gear and gadgets.

The gun is going to be my S&W 6” 629.

The gun will be engraved later, maybe new grips.

In the case I’d like the bronze oil flask, cleaning rod and screw driver. There would be holes for 24 rounds or so.

Also, I have a beautiful old Spanish pocket knife with motherpearl grips, similar to a victorinox, made in Toledo many years ago. My grandfather gave it to me.

A compass, lighter and an old police whistle could go in one of the compartments. Along with some silver coins.

Kind of a vintage trail/survival box. But mostly something to have for fun and as heirloom in the family.

Any ideas? I’d like to get started this week.

Condoms!

(To cover the muzzle with during jungle adventures. Keeps the big spider nests out!)

Don't let the razzing get you down. It sounds like fun.

One interesting approach you might take is to learn the production year of that gun and include what's appropriate for that year in terms of your concept. The 629 was introduced in 1978, so that date is plausible too. Here's an Eisenhower silver dollar for that year:

​

You might find pennies, dimes, and quarters with the same date. And here's a migratory duck stamp for 1978:

Always had a weakness for nice fancy gun cases.....specially if they're made from wood, leather, and velvet.
