Case for a bell-front baritone/euph

I have a student whose family is looking to replace an old case that has developed a musty/moldy smell to it and whose latches/hardware has rusted off after years (decades?) of storage. The case if for one of those 3-valve bell-front horns that were used in a lot of schools (not sure I can make out the make, but I'll check again when I see it next)
Anyone have one they are looking to part with?

I use a Pro-Tec gig bag for my Wessex BR115, and did for the King I had before that, for the same reasons, including weight. There are several places you can buy one.

I assume you're looking for a hard case? I found this for $185 with free shipping:

We have discussed gig bags, but this is a younger student and he will be using the horn his father used when he was younger, so they were hoping to find a hardcase for better protection. A jinbao bell-front case would probably be great, if it fit.

Yeah, I found that one but said I would check if someone had a used one to save them a little money.
