Recently I purchased for little money two vintage poker chip cases, probably from the 1960s. As a self described Browning Hi Power geek, I am not only into the pistols, but accessories and ephemera too. When I spotted these two boxes I though they would make perfect Hi Power custom presentation pistol cases, one a faux brown alligator box, the other in a tight canvas covering. With some hobby board, core boards, velvet fabric, a table sabre saw and a glue gun I transformed the old chip cases into custom French fitted Hi Power pistol cases. They turned out pretty well. I have repurposed some new boxes as well, but actually the vintage cases are nicer, a perfect size and less expensive.

A fun project for the long weekend.

I'm going to have somebody drive by the house to check on you.
