With all due respect, I would not have that case relined. There is no good reason to change this aspect of originality. A new handle and security straps are needed however. With patina to match the case.
I would also make it a practice to attach the forearm to the barrels rather than have it bash around loose atop the wrist and top lever of the gun.
And finally, "Astor" is the hands down preferred social surname in the NE. If one has a choice that is.
