Now I can't find the website, but here's Pete's info: 36 Pleasant Street
Farmington, NH 03835-3724, tel. 603-755-3007
Pete did fine stock work and repaired a vintage leather case for me a couple of years ago.

I might be wrong about this but in general I have found that cases (not only gun but others as well) that have one or two combo locks are inferior to those that have a single keyed lock.
I don't know why, but Mexican and Hong Kong cases tha tfall apart quickly all seem to have the double-combo locks.
Sort of like real crappy double-sash windows have two closers - not one. I think it compensates for crummy construction and fit. I have the all leather case from Galazan with a single keyed lock. It fell off. Literally the lock fell of the case one day. No abuse, hardly any use. Just fell off one day.
The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia

I had a canvas and leather Galazan case that was almost that bad - the lock retaining pins kept backing out and inspired zero confidence that the case was secure. The leather case I got from Galazan was better built. They don't offer a VC/toe under case for some reason.
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

the lock retaining pins kept backing out Add a tiny dab of clear epoxy and tap them back in. Done.

That was exactly what I did but I won't be buying another one of those cases again.
Someone posted something about Disse cases recently. Their cases look pretty good for the money (I have not seen one in person yet) - I wonder if they could be persuaded to make a toe under case.

There is no imported at the present for Emmebi case. I imported them for many years. They are great cases and of top quality. The Parker reproduction cases were made by them. They are still in business. The prices are very high on these cases now and most folks go for the China and Mex cases as the are about 1/3 to 1/4 the price

Hey there KK- I can name you one dude who did- George Herbert Walker Bush (I forget the number, but he is the first of the two "Bush-Boy Presidents"- his sonny-boy is Dubya-- anyway- he has several fine Model 21's and has Huey cases for them--
If I wanted a gun slip, and not a motor case as shown, I would possibly consider New England Out of Gloucester sail makers canvas and leather from a Arabia camel (deceased of course) whether the camel was a humped once, or humped twice - Machts Nicht--) and the hide from the foot assembly of said Dromedary- no tougher leather than on a camel-toe!! Cheers!! RWTF

Probably not- But- two op. code cretieria apply here, troopies: (1) It is true- check it out. G.W. H. Bush does hunt quails etc with M21 double guns, and he has Huey cases for them. I read that fact in The American Hunter- and like its NRA counter-part, The American Rifleman- they only report the true stuff- and (2) It's part of the fun of being on a open forum run by a gentleman who believes in both the 1st and the 2nd Amendments- 24/7-365--and Yup- I'll go with the WTF- there was a news clip on CSNBC whatever about a town in the great American Midwest named "Wallingford" and to celebrate their centennial this coming June 2012, the City fathers ordered T-shirts with large "WTF" stamped on front and back-- Welcome To Wallingford-- go check it out!!!
