Ah yes now I remember the timeline. I was shown a Samsonite case and was told it was for a PM Covert, but I noticed the cutout for the barrel was long and it didn't match the PM Covert or AWS Covert photos I have. The longer cutout led me to believe it was a later design for the current 16" covert barrels, so I guess your Carlton must be the original suitcase brand for the early AWS Coverts with 12" barrel. According to my drawing, it is actually 12.4" end to end.I'm aware of this Samsonite case. It accommodates a 16" barrel. My AE MkIII is taking up residence inside.

There is an AWS Covert barrel kit for sale on a UK shop online, but I don't think you can import suppressors into the UK?
Lucky Carlton is an English brand... I see plenty of the same Carlton cases on ebay! A project for another day.
