JTaylor91 Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Isn’t that the old Croots logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTaylor91 Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 AC supplies rebranded to Croots. The old logo is what’s stamped on your slip. http://www.logo-designer.co/croots-rebrand-logo-design-wins-gold-at-dba-design-effectiveness-awards/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 I don't know but looks a bit amteurish as not properly centred. Could just be the initials of the original owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) No. It is genuine 100% Croots. If you telephone Croots they will confirm it is so. I had a pair of the AC marked slips when I owned my pair of 16 bore guns. Sold the slips through Holt's maybe now four, five or six years ago.

Diver One Posted April 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 I was hoping you would say that👍👍👍👍 so,I haven't wasted £59.95 delivered then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Is it the left half or the right half? True that! The left half will open its flap and buckle on the left side the right half its flap and buckle on the right side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enfieldspares Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) It's the right hand one. Which means it'll be easier to get a "pair" for it if you ever wanted to as most gunslips sold as single slips for the person wanting to case only one gun will made as being like (of a "pair") the left hand ones. Now for those who think I've just written a load of daftness? Look and see! What's the reason? It's because most people that are right handed carry the cased gun on the left shoulder so the flap is on the outermost side of slip. Like the left hand slip from a set of two gunslips made to transport a pair of guns. OTOH if you did ever come to sell it a left handed sportsman who would usually carry his gun on his right shoulder may well pay a premium for this slip.

welshwarrior Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 It looks a little like Adam Calvert’s logo made an early version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diver One Posted April 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Deffo,Alastair Croots...I've had an email reply from him AND also managed to acquire the "other half". Well,chuffed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver One Posted May 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Soooooooo. Got the other half. Then the seller contacted me to say he had a second pair!!! So I got them as it would be rude not to. Then as a stroke of luck, from another source, I got a Croots cartridge bag for £35. It arrived Monday problem is they all have the previous owners initials Stamped on them. Don't fancy a name change, so brainwave. contacted Croots," no issue. Send them in and we will replace he straps and stamp them up". So decided to get my initials stamped on all but one Double set in case I sell them, probably won't. Quoted a weeks turn around. sent them Tuesday, paid Wednesday ( £114.50 incl return carriage) , email Thursday to say they were on their way back! Arrived fed at 0830 today. Rang them to,say they had arrived and how pleased I was. The lady who answered the phone was the one who did the work! And said she may well have made them originally unbelievable service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) All you need now is a nice true pair of quality guns to fill them! edit: oh! And some shooting where you can use them as a pair. Edited May 21, 2022 by London Best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 It is always nice to hear about good service (as well as occasionally 'useful' occasionally to know about poor service), so thanks for letting us know. Well done to Croots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver One Posted May 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) Just for @TIGHTCHOKE @London Best Also , Don't forget the money and the ability 😂 I suppose , strictly speaking, I need TWO pairs of guns 🤔😉 Edited May 21, 2022 by Diver One Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can smell the leather from here. I do like a bit of quality. About eight years ago I bought a matched pair of similar quality slips by Parsons from someone giving up shooting. Knowing I was never likely to be able to use them double gunning with a matched pair of guns I let a good friend have one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
