Description:
This is a beautiful, solid, vintage leather case. An extremely servicable case with brass corners and the most wonderful patina. It appears to be a ‘turn of the century case that is in remarkable condition for its age. It has been relined on the inside at some point and had an original (but newer) William Evans Label installed. This would be an excellent choice for a refinished ‘turn of the century gun’. The label can easily be replaced to match the maker of your gun!


I have a good number of all kinds (Mainly Vintage) Oak & Leather, Leather, and Canvas hard cases in my inventory (to be listed over the upcoming months) as well as a large collection of original (Paper & Leather) and top quality, aged, reproduction, gun case labels!

If you don’t like the label (in the case) or it doesn’t match your gun, it can likely be changed. However, there are hundreds of Gunmakers and thousands of labels, so originals, or even reproductions, may be hard to find. Nearly all the English Gun makers had independent companies building their cases, so most English Cases would be correct for nearly any make of shotgun from the correct period. Original vintage leather labels in good condition are rare and fabulous if they can be found, but many 100 yr old paper labels are not great. An aged reproduction might be a better option! Be sure to inquire if you are looking for something specific: But no guarantees!!!!


NOTE: The photos are part of the description.  Any gun pictured in the case (or unmentioned accessories) is for display purposes only and obviously NOT included in the price.
