Not the prettiest example and I probably paid a rather high sum for it by mainland Europe standards. (It was supposedly recovered from the site of the Falaise Pocket) However, when you need a case you need a case (http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/97957-7-5cm-SprGr-34-für-KwK-40-und-PaK-40) and they don't grow on trees in South East England.

If anyone is feeling an urge to sell me a nicer one, don't be shy about getting in touch. :tinysmile_twink_t2:
