I don't know which year Parker Bros. catalog this is from, but Parker continued to offer various cases throughout their years of gun production.
The Trojan I started hunting with in '60 or '61 had its original canvas take-down case with the extra pocket for the forend and a leather carry-handle and leather trim at wear points - much like No. 65 in the first illustration..
A little DHE I have was ordered in 1912 with an "Annie Oakley style case" according to the letter I ordered. (I have no idea what an 'Annie Oakley style case' is.)
