Oh, I dunno Chris... There used to be a really cool guy that hung out here who called himself 'Brentrocks'.

Ok Great! So that means my Calzone flight case that #0531 was shipped in from Hamer is worth
$,$$$,$$$.$$ 
Seriously though, I Do want to see if it sells and for how much.

Unless there's something very different between cases, couldn't someone just buy the case from TKL who made them for Hamer with the logo? When I had Greg at BCR do some work on my standard bass in 2004, I had him order a Hamer case from them and it came in with the Hamer logo. I did notice that the 2010 standard 12 string bass case came in with a slightly different case size and hardware than the 2004 case, but if I didn't need a period correct case I'd go with TKL case. That should cost a lot less.

Once upon a time, I had two mid-90s USA Hamer Standards (no maple veneer top, just all mahogany), but only one came with a TKL 'USA' case, the other had a 'import' TKL case, both of which were made in Canada. The difference? One had 'USA' in small letters next to the Hamer logo on the lid, the other one just had the Hamer logo on the lid, no 'USA'. Otherwise, the cases were identical in all other respects. I didn't lose sleep over it.

Did he also nick the pickups out of it as well and swap them for some other less desirable/valuable ones while he was at it?
I never even thought about the import Hamer and what case the Asian manufacturer shipped it in.
Nope. It was shipped in '81 with Dimarzio Patent Pending X2N's, then Hamer shipped me the model G type when I told them the X2N's were too loud. Then I tried Rio Grande Pitbulls, and full circle back to the original X2N's. At one point, the middle X2N was a red one that I believe was owned by Chris Matthes. Still have that one I think.
