Police case and cleaning rod rarity?


Recommended Posts

Upon reading Frank's MAC book there is a picture of a police case for the m6. The caption says only 20 were made. My m6 came in one of these cases. There is a space for a cleaning rod and you can see that one was stored in it based on the indent in the case. Unfirtunately the rod was gone by the time I got the setup. Are these cases really that rare? What about the cleaning rods? I could only find 1 for sale @ $195 for an unmarked generic looking brass rod.

Here are a few crappy cell phone pics of the case. There is a compartment in the upper left corner that looks like it held something. Any idea what, maybe a box of ammo? It is strange that the interior partitions were added after the case was covered in leather or whatever covers it. My M6 is also a police gun but marked military like the one in franks book. It is only a few numbers away from the one in the book. Also the rear sight is very loose and flops around. Is is missing a spring or something or is that the way they came? Also my case came with the rare custom belt handle and custom engraving!

This is the $195 one. Not sure how you prove it's authentic. Either way I aint payin $195 for an unmarked brass rod.

No way to prove this one is original either. Just can't imagine Gordon Ingram making rods when so many surplus ones were available.

Found this pic of a case with rod.

Updated with another pic. This is from the Mac Man bible. Shows a different cleaning rod.

First, I think timkel is correct in that Ingram would not have had a company to make the rods that only fit the M-6. Second, I think Mike is right about two model's of cases being made. I don't remember what is in the book. But I think there was and old case and a newer case.
