This is great information. I had been focused on firearms because of the similar construction, and they were the only similar boxes that I could find. Knowing that there are similar boxes used in different industries makes the identification harder, but prevents me from getting tunnel vision...

I hadn't considered this and will definitely pursue this avenue. That eagle (if original) makes the box awkward for travel, packing, & stacking, so a ceremonial/display use makes sense.

I should have noted that the original screws were all brass flatheads. Despite my best efforts, 50% stripped out during removal. I have kept them and am looking for good substitutes, but used what screws I had on-hand for temporary reassembly.

This was my first impression as well, possibly a secure place to store important documents and such. Then, I stumbled onto pics like these: Screenshot_20210110-002219_Chrome by Kipling79 posted Jan 9, 2021 at 11:31 PM This cased Moores Derringer (subsequently Colt #1 Derringer) looks too...

I recently found a small wooden box that was literally falling apart, but interesting enough to keep. The wood was old and dry, the joints were out of alignment, the lid had split in multiple places, and it was missing a brass keyhole cover & key. After a little steam, hide glue, brass work...

I have finally received my Andrews holsters, and despite have high expectations, those expectations have been surpassed; by far. Sam should really update his photos on the website, they definitely don't do justice to these beautiful holsters. I have already ordered two more, one for the S&W 686...

After a painfully long wait (but a wait well worth it), my exquisite Andrews Custom Leather holsters arrived. To answer my own question, or any future questions: The P220 Carry Elite Stainless does fit remarkably well in the Andrews' holster ordered for a P220 Stainless full frame. But...

Yes, the FFL was listed as a "preferred" FFL on Bud's list. When discussing my options with Bud's I suggested that this particular FFL shouldn't be listed as "Preferred" due to the strict schedule a potential customer is stuck with. Because of the "preferred" status, I did not call him prior to...

Buds Gun Shop was able to answer my question. They are not able redirect a shipment of a firearm, even to another FFL, while en-route. If my FFL misses the 3rd delivery attempt, the gun will go back to Buds, and then they can start the process over. I don't like having created a thread...

He was definitely not the cheapest FFL around, but also not the highest. You bring up a good point about the sender, and gave me an idea. This shipment is from Buds Gun Shop, who has a lot of FFLs on file already. I am going to call them when they open (if this isn't a holiday for them), and...

I have a handgun being shipped to a local part-time FFL, and there was a major miscommunication as to exactly how "part-time" he actually is. UPS attempted to deliver the handgun yesterday, but he was not there to receive it. In my recent conversation with the FFL, he informed me that even if...

I just edited my previous post before you posted again, oops. I hadn't originally noticed that you were talking about Stainless 220's. The stainless P220's at those low price points must be sold out, I never saw them (unless I really screwed up). I wish I had your shopping skills... when I...

Ah, I did a quick search and can eliminate some of the confusion. I apparently purchased the last of this gun. The item I purchased now says "sold" rather than showing a price and it isn't showing up a basic search of Bud's inventory. I had to type in the inventory number to find it. The only...

Hello, As mentioned in an earlier thread, I have ordered a couple holsters from Andrews Leather for my P220 ST. By sheer chance, I just stumbled upon a (potentially) screaming deal on a P220 ST Carry Elite. I took the gamble. So... I have heard that a portion of the carry versions slide is...

Thanks for the responses. I already felt fairly safe spending so much money on something I haven't seen in person, based on the previous reviews of Andrews, but more reinforcement definitely doesn't hurt! I feel like a kid in a candy store when I look at his website. I literally want...

Hello, I have just went through a very long period of research and finally ordered a shoulder holster for my P220S. I thought that some of my experiences might help others make a decision on what holsters to get or avoid. Galco VHS (Vertical Holster): This was my first choice due to...
