Got these in a private deal a few weeks ago, was not so sure if they were the genuine article but I have seen them in an old 1970's magazine so I now know they are so guess they are very rare!

Look very similar to the generic Bristow darts, but who had them first Bristow or Evans?, my guess would be Evans.

i don't think that is a genuine alan evans dart case, as i have a set i bought in the 70s & my case is not like that, it has a picture of alan evans on the case, sorry, although the darts look right. Unfortunately my grandson took my darts in the garden & lost one, so i am looking for a replacement

the "darts" on the case look a bit like .... eh you know

I know which case you mean Malc1947, if its the one im thinking of its all red, but they could still well be genuine it wasn't uncommon to change the design of case of players darts, and seeing has grip has a picture of it in a 70s mag, they must be genuine just not the same case as yours. Nice Darts Grip. Got my vote

I think there is a few Alan Evans cases out. But it was the darts I seen in the ad. I have seen the same case too in an early 70's mag which was exactly the same but without the Alan Evans name on. But I also have an Alan Evans case with his pic on too. But as the colour of the design of the darts is the same as the writing I assume they are genuine.

The case is made of Porvair it says in the mag. A soft plastic material.

The other case I have is red and white too and has a pic of Alan Evans on and also has some faded silvertrim writing on. The darts that I got with them though are a bit strange, they look like they may have been Evans darts but looks like the rings have been smoothed out and a funny wavy pattern applied. Dont know if that was done by the owner or if they were bought like that?

Also welcome to the forum malc1947

The case does look a little perfect.

I think Grip is mass producing knock offs in the basement.

You show off grip, no cheap leather for you Lol

LOL I am sure its the same stuff on my trainers on the tongue part.

There were several different Alan Evans cases and barrel designs over the years. Silvertrim used to be based near me. The one most people remember is the red case with the pic of Evans on but that came with the Crown Miniture sets not Silvertrim. Seen at least 3 different Alan Evans Silvertrim case designs one of which is shown on the advert i posted elsewhere in this section.
