I found this on gb and was curious if anyone had ever seen one or had any info about them.

Made it hot:

KGB Briefcase

and all it does is open to allow you access to the gun?  Not as cool as the HK MP5 cases where the trigger is concealed in the handle and you actually shoot out the end of the case...

$1,000 for a briefcase, and all the seller can do is post a scan of a shotgun news ad? LOL...

He did post a 90x68 pixel pic of the suitcase, it's not his fault your eyesight is going:

What did these originally sell for?  The seller on GB conveniently covered up the original retail price in the ad...

I sent him a email asking for better pictures and he told me "NO" because he was afraid of duplication.  Then told me for my information that when he purchased them they it was from a gray magazine advertisement.

I did see that pic, and that picture is a tiny little pic of a Krink on some sort of 1980's briefcase.  It doesn't even show the inside of the case, much less even all of it from the exterior for any kind of I.D. that could be correlated to research material.

For $20 I can get a Samsonite on ebay and some hard foam and make the same thing- he has no provenance. For $1,000 he needs better than that.

The least he could do would be admit he's full of shit.

You and the GB seller are both in NY. Why not ask if you can drive over and check it out in person.

I considered doing this but the seller is out on long island, it would be like a 5 hour drive each way.  Im close to Rochester and its just a bit to far to travel for spite.

If your curious as a collector than I'd investigate further. If your just looking for something to conveniently store and carry in then there are much better and WAY cheaper options out there that will hold more than just the gun.

What a schmendrick.  This could be duplicated to include the spring-open feature of the case.  I've been wanting to make a faux Secret Service case for my Uzi.  I'll comb the second-hand stores sometime and see what I come up with.

Startind bid $500 or Buy now for $1K and no bids.  I guess eventually a fool will jump on it? I doubt it cost Russia more then $25.00 to make it.

I think Mike Friend from Firingline has one that he uses. Give him a call. They are pretty neat.
