gun case information

[roger m. flamion]

I would like duplicate a PARKER gun case for my circa 1934 ,28 ga. VHE. Where might discover the proper style from this era?

There were a few possibilities and none were made by Parker Bros. but were supplied and listed in catalogues. A low grade gun such as a Trojan or VH, unless otherwise mentioned in a research letter - and such mention is scarce - would likely have been shipped in an inexpensive canvas and leather take-down case.

- tan canvas and leather trim, but NOT a take down style, as shown in Dean's reply- mine are full length--need to know the OAL of your 28 bore Parker- believe the ones I have were for M1892-M1894 Winchesters- Hard to find any pre-WW11 period case with Parker or other logos embossed.
My PGCA friend Angel Cruz often has LOM and other high quality cases for sale, you might consider sending him a PM and see what he has at present- a great guy to deal with indeed!!

-so they are yours- can't ship, but let me know where and when you'll be in the Grand Rapids MI area and we'll see if we can hook up-- a 28 Gauge Parker- a svelte sprite- like Audrey Hepburn- vs an 8 or 10 gauge hammer Parker- Ethyl Merman or Sophie Tucker??

Roger,
If your gun was purchased from a dealer such as Abercrombie & Fitch then it may have included a leather case for a 28 gauge. Here is an A&F case made specifically for a 28 gauge. These cases were scaled down for the the small bore guns and are not as common as the bigger cases.
