Default SN 4118 and case

People ask about finding an original case. These old walnut cases are the only known true originals. Here is SN 4118, equivalent to the later D grade, and its case, courtesy of a friend.

For later guns, the best one can do is find a period correct case, although some trunk cases were originally made for Parkers, as they have accomodation for the rib extension. I've shown pictures before of one I have like that.
