i remember reading probably a year or more ago about Bill Collings working on his own cases to be made inhouse.
i just noticed this at elderlys, yes its expensive, but i wonder what its made of. the shape is definitely more curved in areas than the old standard TKL that carried Collings to thier new homes.
speculate its maybe a carbon fiber with covering to have this old standard appearance-need to call or email Collings to find out specifics. latches look more robust, etc.
anyone have the skinny on these?
