Are you looking for the "factory" Case pre-ban Ivory only or custom ivory?  I know the factory Ivory is hard to find an oh so nice.

i'm looking for the ones made with the pre ban ivory and they came with a little piece of paper stating such. i have a couple of them in my collection thread here, and thats what i'm looking for again. not looking for the custom pieces but they do look great but i'm more of an all factory type feller

 You should consider getting some through a respected dealer you met at a local knife show. A regular customer after a few orders would likely get a discount. Dealers such as this sell some things to regular customers that you dont see at shows. Old ivory though legal might not make online selling platforms as it should.

   Having a knowledgeable dealer is more expensive though it may be worth it as you are more l;ikely to get the best stuff without your having expensive travel expenses.

.......STILL hunting pre ban ivory case xx. if anybody has one or three they would like to sell please let me know. Yes, i know local dealers and whatnot are the way to go, but i dont have any local dealers here, and smkw is my closest local dealer, but they would not have any of these older case ivory knives(yes i've been many times). Also i dont have facebook, so options are very limited.
