After a clean, conditioning and a polishing with lambs wool the old leather case is reasonably presentable. It still retains the stains, burns and scuffs from a long hard life. Rusty, the retired saddle maker will have the straps done using the original brass buckles. They had previously been repaired and were beyond help.
Still contemplating the absent brass plaque, may have had the owners name.

I keep close to two flats of 10 gauge bird/clays loads in my truck most of the time . 1 1/8 as well as 1 1/4 there might even be two or three boxes of ounce as well , but all of them are 7 1/2’s . Do have my new to me speed bag sitting at the front door with about three boxes of 1 1/4 #6’s for the first tower shoot at Prospect Hall in October .

Bruce I just ordered a pair of roundball molds one at .735” and the other at .775” . The smaller for my tight choked barrels and the other for the pair of factory open choked Parker’s . These molds are brass single cavity without sprue cutters . But it’s quite easy to trim the sprue with a pair of dyke’s (side cutters) . Www.ballmoulds.com , the pair of molds were about 100 pounds sterling which is about $130 .

I’m happy you enjoy shooting “ball” with your shotguns. I shoot shotguns with shot (plural). Many of my English doubles are stamped “Not for Ball”.
When I use “Ball” these .54’s are sufficient and effective. One is a 34-1/2” custom barrel that requires a long stick. I’m certain rifled barrels are more accurate with “ball” than smooth bores. I too enjoy casting bullets and balls. As long as you are having safe fun, shoot them shotguns.
