I suppose it's possible, though pretty remote, as no such label appears in TPS, which is pretty inclusive.
Almost every case label I have seen has been the product of someones imagination. Some are very nice, others, not so much. Mike Massina was one of the best case restorers around. The week before he died, George Purtill and I spent the day with him, and he gave me a stack of beautiful case labels, one of which I have used, ever since, in my walnut gun cases. It, like most, was entirely his own creation. |

Let me express my lack of knowledge for a moment here - did Parker sell cases? Or would you have to buy the gun and obtain the case elsewhere?

PB would provide a case if requested. A&F cases were also offered for a 2 year stint I believe in the Remington era. They may have been offered at other times as well, not sure on that.

From at least the 1880's catalogs, maybe earlier, to the end of the Remington period, cases have been offered in Parker catalogs. However, I don't think we have ever seen an original Parker case label.

Dylan note the mention of the case in this letter.

Did Parker ever use the "Old Reliable" nick name in advertising
seems that would post date the manufacture of the guns My guess is someone did a little editing work and made it - maybe for sale easy enough to do with just a few minutes of spare time
