and another original Parker cataloged case for an 11 ga lifter action. I don't recall seeing a Parker cataloged case with top folding handle and acorn motif attachments. It would warrant checking the early catalogs, which are re-printed in TPS.

As an aside, we get lots of people seeking a original Parker case for their 1910 hammerless , etc. Original Parker cases are very few and limited to the early hammer, usually lifter action, years. If you don't see it in the early catalogs, I know of no compelling reason why it is a Parker case. However, lots of hammerless Parkers were sold with leg of mutton cases or VC cases, and those would be period correct, and really the most authentic a person can do.
