Default Dad's Case

My Dad built this case in the 1960's. He bought this two barreled VH 16 locally. Being the swamp Yankee he was, the case is a recycled cut-down box that he outfitted with mahogany blocks to hold all in place on his trips to New Brunswick for early woodcock and grouse season, long before the season opened in Connecticut.
I recently had the interior lined and rebuilt to protect the gun. It has 28 inch original Meriden Remington barrels and 26 inch Ilion barrels. Marked 1 and 2. The gun was originally sold by A&F in NYC.
Yeah, I know its probably way too fancy for a V grade but if my house was burning down and I could only take one gun with me this would be it. Yup, I would leave the DHE's behind, even the 410.
he was damned proud of the gun and so am I. And the case.
