Horse trading for 20 ga and got non Parker cases

[John Gardner]

Had a little fun recently.
Started off picking up a Gregson 16 ga. w/original case, a nice light English gun possibly made for Gregson by Westely Richards. Got a "Gtd. by John Rigby", (Rigby warrants the gun but didn't make it), hammer gun thrown in.

Flipped the Gregson and a VH 12 for a nice VH 20 (1920) which unfortunately doesn't letter, and then traded a slightly mucked with DHE 12 I picked up from auction for a cute PH 20 (1902), 26" mirror bores, that does letter. I'll put up some pics in the Parker section on these.

The gentlemen I was trading for the Parker 20's with also had these non Parker cases. The first is a Holland and Holland which on reflection looks like it was for an 8 bore rifle, not shotgun, as I first thought. Any insight appreciated.

The second is, I believe, a 2 gun hammer case attributed to a H.J. Kennard who's family was into politics of the day and a member of the Junior Carlton Club in the UK. A now defunct gentlemen's club for Conservative party members and guests. No makers label in the case but possibly E.M.Rieley (?) Ignore the black belt it goes away soon. The carry handle is opposite the latch on the two gun case which I thought odd. Again I would appreciate any info.

No cash changed hands for the cases, the Holland case took a low grade Darne 20 ga. and the other a beater (if there is such a thing) Trojan 12 and the Rigby. I am not a case guy but liked these and any input to value would be appreciated.

I think I did OK on the Holland case but not so sure on the 2 gun case. Pictures below. The Holland is 44 x 9 1/2 x 4 so fairly big.

Apologize if wrong column to talk about cases. I haven't gone unto other sights yet as 1) I know there are some pretty skilled case guys here in PGCA and 2) I regard and trust the feedback from the PGCA members.
