gun case information

[Double Play]

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.

One box rests proudly on my shelf of shell boxes, it's one of my favorites actually. Thank you again for passing it along to me.

Roger: Other appropriate period cases for your Parker might be marked VonLengerke & Detmold or VonLengerke & Antoine (both were later acquired by A&F). Iver Johnson also sold Parkers through their catalogue along with Fox, Smith, Ithaca & others. Their cases are also embossed with their name.

Best Regards, George

Here is an example of the VL&A small bore case that George is referring to. It is not the LOM style like the A&F case. It will only accomdate 24" barrels and was made for either a short barrel small bore shotgun or perhaps a take down rifle.

If I had a 28 VHE I might have to have one of these made for it:

If I had a 1934 VHE 28, I would search for an Abercrombie and Fitch VC trunk case made in England. If you find one originally made for a smallbore, it will be the find of the century, but they were original Parker items for skeet guns and some few field guns.
