You make perfect sense, instead of a crap prop thrown together and made to look cool, they actually made a classic work of art that worked and is cool at the same time.

the box replica is coming along great but i am having issues with the locks... i will be posting pics and will be calling on RPF board members to help out
ok heres a few picture updates and also a few of the locks... now i want o find these specific ones and would love to find a dealer not just one or 2... so if anyone can come up with something ill make it worth while
the lock
hmmm... not sure if you will be able to find exact matches... They were probably made in the 80s and were common then, but have probably been out of production for awhile. I'll keep my eyes out though and pass the pic along to a few contractors who do a lot of lock work.
From what I can gather via Google Images, The Kurgan sword case appears to be a vintage musical instrument case (most likely for a trumpet) made sometime in the '50s or '60s. Below are links to the closest I could find to those locks that you can buy today.

Keep checking for updates...need a fix.
closest i can find for the locks are these:
close shaped hinge wrong key type: Item # R4/343, Keyed Side Hasp lock on Franzen International
correct key type, wrong hinge shape and an added button (pricey): http://www.saddler.co.uk/shop.html?pr=6601&cr=2467
Wow that's great! And I think that they can be mixed and matched... 62 pounds sheesh lol
I know an update is needed, box is coming along, ordered some special made locks that are screen close, handle is in its way, and I'm shopping for the perfect velvet
Yeah baby YEAH!!!!
