I took 28 pictures, so I will only post the links here, as I know from experience that the forum load times can be quite long if pictures are inserted.
The steps are those:
- Purchase a book for 1 Euro that is a bit bigger and higher than the m92.
- Purchase 2 desk chair cushions filled with blocks of foam.
- Empty the book.
- Take measure from the m92 (just draw on the foam taken from the cushions)
- Make a top and a bottom from the foam.
- Cut a hole the size of the m92 into the middle of both.
- Take one of the cutouts and slice it into two.
- If necessary, stabilize with paper glued to the back of the slices.
- Sew an envelope for the slices and put them into it.
- Cover the top and bottom rims with fabric (this proved to be very messy and difficult because of the corners, but: As the downside will not be visible, you can sew as messy as you like :-) )
- Cover the book skeleton with adhesive plastic foil in your favorite color / texture.
- Think of a fitting closing mechanism ( I chose a chinese button node sling and some beautiful medieval-looking buttons I found in an old button chest)
- Put the closing mechanism into place (I just knotted the leather band on the other side of some holes in the book lid).
- Glue the fabric covered top and bottom rims and the fabric covered slices into the book cover.
- Wait until all is dry :-)
- Put your m92 into it, close the lid, and be happy ;-)
I cannot describe exact measurements, as those will depend on the book, fabric, foam, closing mechanism,....
Hope this gives someone some nice ideas!

The pictures are displayed in the wrong order but there's nothing I can do about it.
