Received the same email today too Ron. Called them, paid and they are to be shipped tomorrow. I received the letters for the #53 pair that I bought at the OGCA ROCS Auction, really nice documentation and provenance for the future. Beautiful pair of pistols.

UPS said mine will be in my possession tomorrow (8/9/18). It will be late afternoon as my UPS guy doesn't get here until 3:30-5:00. Can't wait, like a kid at Christmas.

Same here Ron, although mine won't be in until mid next week. A friend of mine that lives close also has a set on the way. I hope to get some good photos of all of them together for you all.

Just unboxed my Mark IV's. What beautiful guns!! The wife said, "You're not going to shoot them are you?" I replied, "Heck yes, what are guns for but to shoot." She slapped me :D And great letters to go with them.

I think I'll need a different (larger) display box to make them look better. I might just get one that will hold both of these and my ROCS Bearcat.

Look on ebay for large watch boxes.
You can find just beautiful wood boxes in the $40 range, glass top kind of stuff, maybe multi-drawer.

I've purchased these and ripped out the guts and remade them for antique firearms before, it's really not hard.

Finding the right felt, Styrofoam (and a cutter, hot wire thing), spray adhesive, and a little bit of smarts will get you a long way.

I cut all the way though the foam, modify it as needed and put it back, typically going top to bottom to push the felt down that is left from the center where you didn't want it and used for the sides. Again it's not rocket science, I don't know how that make those boxes for that price. I know nothing about wood but they sure look nice.

I'm sure you could make a stellar case for them, if you gift them to me I could show you :D

I got the case above from here: http://www.customdisplays.com/gun-display-cases.html and it cost me $50. I've bought from them in the past and really like their workmanship.

Sorry, I don't think the wife would allow these to leave the house :D
