Default Parker 2 barrel set with leather case

I've recently acquired a Parker shotgun (2 barell set) in an ornate solid leather case. See picture. Does anyone know if that would be a standard Parker gun case? Anybody seen a case like that before?

As far as the gun goes, it's a DH that dates to 1919. I haven't figured out the other particulars yet.

The case, probably Spanish, is not original to the gun.

Nice set up. Trap style butt pad.

Look carefully at the case, inside and out, for a maker's name. It could be an H.H.Heiser, Denver.

You're saying the gun is not an original Parker? Why do you say this? Give me more info. I'm not a seasoned firearms hobbyist.

Tom, the current stock on your gun is a replacement. Also the beaver tail forend is after market as it does not carry the D grade checkering pattern. Each of these do not have the Parker style of finish. Steve is merely stating someone made the gun their "own" as to particular style, fit, and finish. The splinter forend, barrels, and frame do look original as to factory. Nice gun. Shoot and enjoy.

This is another "Parker" I obtained. Is this one also modified? Its a DH circa 1929.

Stock and trigger are aftermarket. It's a DHE, not DH
