What you have is an old English trunk case, refitted to a Parker. The original gun is long separated from it. The security straps are replacements -- and installed backwards. Strap tails should face the lid hinge.

W. T. Grant embossed on the lid is the identity of the original owner... whomever that might have been. Without the original gun/maker's identity, that person's identity is virtually impossible to determine.

Nonetheless, the case is very nice indeed. Although this one could well benefit from a nourishing treatment of Pecard dressing to preserve the leather.
