1921A Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 (edited) Good morning. We have been asked if we can still make Police and FBI style cases for the Thompson. We can make them but the sources for leather handles and prewar style leather covering material disappeared a couple of years ago and our supply is exhausted. We have been working with potential new suppliers but progress has been much slower than expected. There is some good news. We recently found and acquired a small quantity of vintage prewar Presto and Eagle hardware as used on original Police and FBI cases. There is also enough hardware and leather covering material to make Indiana style cases and drum cases for now. If you have a Police or FBI case on order we appreciate your patience and we will finish those as soon as leather is available.

Rekraps Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 What about pricing? Also, I think the drum is a 100 rounder, can you manufacture them to fit the 50 rounder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gijive Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 (edited) Rekraps, If you are referring to the above photos of the Indiana case, it is a fifty-round drum pictured. Edited February 23 by gijive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief762 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 I have owned a Greg Fox Indiana TSMG case for a few years now and I can say that it's an excellent product in every way. I never move my Thompson out of the house without it. At the time I believe the cost was about $650. For me, it is worth every cent. Thanks, Greg.

Definitely designed for 'L' drum, I own one, see picture in Gallery. I also purchased one of his drum carriers for my other 'L' drums, Gregs workmanship and attention to detail are 2nd to none in both those cases.

hntrdarren Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Greg Fox’s workmanship and attention to detail in building these beautiful cases are second to none. My Indiana case that Greg built me years ago is absolutely beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Sergeant Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 On my earlier post I neglected to rave about Greg's cases.

Kilroy Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 (edited) I don’t know if it would work as an alternative for leather you could use Tolex that they use to wrap guitar amps in? Tolex Edited March 5 by Kilroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolex Thanks for the suggestion. I have Tolex but it just doesn’t look correct on the Thompson cases. 1921A Edited March 7 by 1921A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryo Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 My FBI Fox case is so nice that I don't want to use it unless I'm trying to display and that doesn't happen often. Took forever to get the right cleaning box and cleaning rod, both Gordon replicas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1921A Posted April 3 Author Report Share Posted April 3 (edited) Good morning all: Update: We’ve finally secured a new source for the correct leather material used on the original Police cases. It’s being finished this week and should ship the week of 4/6/25. There have also been questions about availability of the large end bolts found on some original Police cases. My stock of N.O.S. Eagle bolts ran out about 2 years ago. Since then, we were able to find a few used ones from old trunks and cases and have them reconditioned. These were offered as options with price based on costs to repair and re-nickel them. This week I found and purchased a small quantity of N.O.S. Brass Excelsior and a few Eagle “locking” bolts. These will not require repair but will need to be nickel plated. They will be offered as an option on the Police case. Locking bolts are the same size and shape as the standard bolt. Pictures below show the bolts for comparison.

1921A Posted May 2 Author Report Share Posted May 2 I have a disappointing update to this post. The leather covering material used on the FBI and Police model cases is still stalled in New Jersey for embossing. I spoke to them Tuesday and was told it might be ready to ship this week. Consequently, orders for Police or FBI cases will be further delayed. Orders for Indiana cases and drum cases are not affected. Greg Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post a few pics of the FBI case? Price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1921A Posted June 6 Author Report Share Posted June 6 Finally, I have the outer covering material back in stock for the Police and FBI cases. I’ll start working on back orders as soon as possible. If you’re waiting on one feel free to contact me for updates. Greg Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFalGuy Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 Greg, I would like to get an Indiana case. I like the way they carry more stick magazines than the other cases I have ( I have 2 and only one TSMG now) We met once at KCR and you had a case that looked like a briefcase so it might have been an Indiana and it was all wood. Still have a website? How order? Since they are reproductions I am really not that concerned about the look of the latches etc so long as they are strong. Yours, Mark Maund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
