A Vintage Pachmayr 'Super Deluxe' 'Sure Grip' Shooters Handgun Case
Description
A vintage Pachmayr ‘Super Deluxe’ ‘Sure Grip’ shooters handgun case, likely dating from the late 1960s or 1970s, as indicated by patent number 3,329,278 issued in 1967 and the “Los Angeles 15, Calif.” address format. The rectangular, two-tiered case features a textured brown faux leather or vinyl exterior with chrome-plated metal corner protectors, hinges, and a central latch, complemented by a molded brown plastic handle. The interior is lined with a similar brown material, offering two compartments, an adjustable ‘Lok-Grip’ tray, a leather strap with a polished metal buckle, and wooden support rails. A brass-toned plaque inside reads: “ADJUSTABLE LOK-GRIP TRAY SUPER DELUXE CASE BY Pachmayr GUN WORKS INC. LOS ANGELES 15, CALIF. PAT. NO. 3,329,278”, while an exterior label under the handle states: “Pachmayr ‘Sure Grip’ SHOOTERS HANDGUN CASE”. An accompanying orange instruction slip details how to operate the locks, noting they were “carefully inspected prior to shipment”.
Condition report:
Good vintage condition. Minor surface wear and scuffs are present, consistent with age and use. The chrome-plated metal components show some tarnishing and light scratching. The interior lining appears largely intact with minor signs of use. The instruction slip is present and legible.
