Artistry in Oak & Leather :: Story by Kelly Boatright, Photography by David Krehl

Long before I could ever afford a “Best Quality” gun, I admired the oak and leather cases of Marvin Huey. Each was a finely bound book that was to be opened, a holder of history and a resting place for heirlooms. A fine Huey oak and leather case is the binding which holds an heirloom for generations yet to be. 

As a lover of “Best Quality” London and Scottish guns, I have owned and inspected the work of every serious case maker of the present and past. In my opinion, none rival the work of Marvin Huey. It’s hard to get my friends in London to acknowledge that. My Scottish friends, however, are proud to have one of their guns cased in a Huey case. One of my friends at John Dickson happily acknowledged that I’d selected the world’s finest when I informed him that I was having one of their lovely “Best Quality Round Actions” cased in a Huey Trunk Case.
