    BSW PB case mystery

    I have just gotten a nice case for my BSW PB. Already I had a case and they both look most similar from outside.

    What wonders me that the new Velvet case doesn´t fit very well - the badge doesn't sink in like it does in the case which is simpler inside.

    Here´s the inside of the "simpler" case which is "slit" open so the badge sinks in nicely. The Velvet case Looks very similar to a J1 case.

      A J1 actually also fits nicely as it is quite flat.

        Removing the Velvet inlay I found the following marking. Luckily the other case has exactly the same marking (couldn´t get a decent Picture - sorry).

          The BSW badge itself has quite a large distance between the needle and the badge itself.

          Now - does anyone have BSW cases or sets to compare with? I would love to solve the mystery why the badge doesn´t fit the case so well...! Or were there badges with different needles? The zinc badges had different needles - but I don´t know if they are much closer to the badge.

          Thanks in advance!

            Hi,

            both cases are original. The dark velvet is more rare...

                Thanks Ivan and Sebastien!

                If anyone has a BSW Badge in such a dark velvet case it would be fantastic to see and compare.

                Cheers,
