I also have a 65 in a green case, but also have one in a blue case. Was K&Q the only maker to use colored cases? Jim

Hello Jim,
I know that Deschler used blue cases also. I have one.

Really nice one, Fabrizio.

I do not have a green (or blue) case yet, but have my eyes peeled for one. I love the paint on your core: it's not the typical "smoky grey" paint that one often finds with this K+Q core-type. In my (limited) experience, this regular paint is more often encountered with the other K+Q core type (with the "overhung 3" seen below).

Hi trevor,
thank you ! []
I didn' t know these details.
I think you must buy a green and blue case when you meet one, they are uncommon and really fine variante.
