African Game Skins (Pics Posted)

27 March 2008, 07:06

For those that might be interested, I recently had Dick Murray make me a rifle case, cartridge belt and knife case out of one of my buffalo hides from Tanzania. They arrived today and all I can say is that they are outstanding. He did a marvelous job. Compared to some of the other leather goods you see made from African game hides, there is simply no comparison. Exceeded my expectations in every way.

Dick charges the same price to make something from your hide that he charges for the same item he makes with bridle leather. He does good work and is a nice man too.

Delivery time was around two months, maybe six weeks as I recall.

The prices are the same prices he charges for the comparable item on his website made with leather. So in other words, the guncase purchased off the website with his leather is $475 (or was). He charges the same price to make the case using your hide. Same deal for the cartridge belt and knife case.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling
