Recently got a 1911 specifically for my son and it didn’t come with a box which wasn’t a deal breaker to me. I’d like to get a presentation box made for it and need ideas. Didn’t know if anyone has ever had anything like this made custom for one of their pistols. All I know is I want his name or initials engraved in the Lid.

he’s only one right now so it will be quite a few years till he even gets this pistol. Just want it to be in something special for when he does get it.

I’d build a presentation box myself. Maybe inlay his initials in the top. Lined interior.

If he is 1 now it sounds like you have plenty time to get going. I bet he would love anything you build way more then something you buy.

I’m available for adoption.

wondering about a large cigar box. The ones that are all wood.

Can always just buy a box too.
