Default Interesting Case that came with a nice G

Was fortunate to acquire a nice original condition Damascus G 12 gauge recently which came with neat vintage case. I know or think I know Parker never made this type of case and also believe the Squirrel card label is a reproduction.

My thoughts are someone had a vintage case and adapted it for the G specifically - it fits perfect - likely done in the past few years judging by the fresh looking Squirrel label, and the exterior wear and patina being much heavier than the interior, which is relatively newish.

Regardless it fits the gun beautifully - barrels are 30".

Wanted to hear any comments on people doing this work.

I have ordered a letter for the G hoping it may reference an individual to the gun itself and if anyone has suggestions on how to track down a H.W.T. Grant I'm all ears. I'll post the G pictures in next day or so
