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.

Roger,
Although not in as good condition as Patricks example here is another A&F case for a 28 gage.

Those are some wonderful shells, Larry. What shot size?

I don't recall Bill. I received 10 boxes with the gun but have given most of them away as I don't shoot that gage. I think I kept one box and will look around for it tonight.
