Are there any dealers of Artesania F. Exposito leather take-down gun cases in the USA? I believe this is the company that produces cases for the high-end Spanish gunmakers.

I searched exhaustively a couple of years ago. Jack Jansma of Wingshooting Adventures and Charlie Schneible of British Shooting Arms Ltd were of assistance but I did not find a company representative to deal with me. The man Jack had used was no longer in the picture. Charlie retailes some Exposito gunslips so perhaps give him a call. Or, you might want to see if anyone still at Orvis in Manchester, VT has any contacts.

Dick Murray was a name which came up but I was not able to locate any current ties there either.

The last address I have is

Artesania F Exposito SA
Calle Baviera (Pg Aquisgran) SN 23200
La Carolina, Jaen, Spain

+34-953-68-14-44 Telephone
+34-953-68-01-46 Fax

(That locale also sourced Martinz Garcia Pablo in Beas De Segura and Leyva Private Label Sociedad limitada in Linares, all of Jaen among others.)

The last presence here in the US I found at the 2005 SHOT Show.

I found some records in October of 2010 indicating a change in management or other personnel. http://en.datocapital.com/ARTESANIA-F.EXPOSITO-SA.html

Exposito closed down about 2 or 3 years ago. I imported the cases for many years. They were great cases and a fine company to do business with. I also did some of the break down gun slips too. Always nice work.

Thank you very much for the information gents. Do you know what firm is now making the cases for Arrieta and are these cases up to the same quality standards as the Exposito cases?

You might speak to Lars at Ptarmigan Outfitters in Manchester, VT.

Last autumn, he planned to source Spanish cases.

The AyA resource features cases at http://www.aya-fineguns.com/productos_en.php?wgo=19&main=ACCESSORIES

Orvis, among others, advertises a Spanish leather gunslip.

We used to carry Artisano Expositos at G&H. In fact, they made our branded leather goods for many years. For high quality cases you might look for Alexandre Mareuil (French)

or Rey Pavon (Spanish). Neither are cheap but quality rarely is. G&H has had them in stock but I don't know what is there now.

Does Alexandre Mareuil sell to the States? Tried to buy something and no country code for us. But they will ship to Iran
