Default Cases sold with parker hammer guns circa 1882

This top lever 12 gauge was ordered with 24 others by HD Folsom in 1882. I assume it was sold therabouts with this case. I bought gun and case for $400only because I love the case and have always admired the fitted walnut cases found with this period Parker gun.
The gun is 27607 and is in very rough shape. I would love to have the barrels cleaned up just to show off the case better.

Were these cases a standard Folsom or Parker item?
Who made them?
Any insight is appreciated.
