Default Leather Barrel Sleeve

A friend just got his first Parker, a very nice two barrel set. It came with the extra set in a fitted leather barrel sleeve, which none of us have seen before. So I have been requested to post this to see if anybody knows anything about it and whether it was custom made or a stock item. There are no manufacturer's marks on it.

A nice item to have and very well made too. I've never seen one like that.

BD:
I once owned a W&C Scott hammer gun with an extra set of factory 40" barrels. They were housed in a "sleeve" such as yours. Very elegant... but no name on it. Some shop made them, but I have no idea of its identity.

(Wish I had that gun back!)

Best, Kensal

How cool is that. I wonder what it would cost to make them. Any gun that I put in a leg-o-mutton case I cut one of those $5 Cabelas gun socks in half and put the frame and barrels in them before I put them in the case.
