Hunting Shotgun Certificate Wallets

A Shotgun Certificate Wallet Offers Ideal Protection

According to the terms of the Firearms Act of 1968, a holder of a shotgun certificate must show it to the police on demand. The problem with carrying the certificate around in your pocket is that it can quickly become creased and ripped. Also, it is quite easy to misplace a piece of paper. A shotgun certificate wallet keeps the paper protected from general wear and tear and the elements. Also, it can be kept with your shooting gear so you never forget it. If you have a relative or friend who is a shooting enthusiast, such a wallet makes a unique gift idea. Whether you're buying for yourself or for someone else, eBay has a wide range of shotgun certificate wallets to suit your budget.

To narrow down your choice of shotgun certificate wallet before purchasing, you should think about:

• Manufacturer: Wallets can be branded or non-branded.
• Colour: Choose from classic black or brown, or other colours.
• Material: Wallets can be made of leather, imitation leather, or plastic.
• Size: Most wallets are standard A4 size when opened, but can be single or double (depending on how many certificates you have).
• Fastening: Some wallets simply fold over while others have a stud fastener.
• Designs: They might be plain and unadorned, or decorated with different patterns, emblems, and/or pictures.
• Additional accessories: Some wallets can be combined with other shooting must-haves such as a matching felt-lined bullet pouch.

Shotgun certificate wallets come in a variety of designs and can be chosen to reflect your occupation, interests, and/or preferred make of gun. There are wallets which are decorated with emblems of the different armed forces or hunting symbols, such as a rifle or grouse. Many wallets on eBay can also be customised by the addition of embossed initials or a single letter of your choice, made of pewter, on the front.

The shotgun and/or firearms certificate is kept inside the wallet behind a transparent, plastic panel. This means it can easily be opened and shown without removing it from its protective cover. Some have an elasticated central band for additional security. The wallet itself is strong and thick enough to protect it from the elements, but compact enough to easily fit into an inner or outer pocket. Some also have reinforced corners to ensure that the wallet is durable.
