    I made this box today for my U.S. Army 1918 Old Type. It is walnut to match the handle I made for the OT. These first pictures are before I put a finish on it.

    Finished: I lined the inside with blue velvet.

    Beautiful execution Jim! As good or better than the originals made by Gillette.

    I gotta say Jim aka @Jayaruh makes a fine case. I found a NEW LC at a local shop that had been refinished and was super nice. After showing it to him he said it needed a home and proceeded to make this beauty. [​IMG][​IMG]

    Hi, I love what you did there Jim. Not only with the case, but the handle on your OT. That is very cool. I have never seen the like before. Very nice sir. Good Show!
