Default Remington Supplied Cases

I am in search of an original Parker case supplied by Remington after they took over the manufacture of Parker guns. Does anybody have one? If so can you post a picture or contact me as I would like to see what these cases look like.

I recall reading an article in Parker pages about someone's late Remington gun and I believe they mentioned the gun was in its original Remington supplied case.

Thank you
Patrick

George Purtill’ gun and case if I’m not mistaken.

Patrick, if it was a two barrel case in the Parker Pages, that was probably the "Doctor's Gun", that I wrote about.

Todd,
Can you post some pictures of the case? Also, how did you determine it was an original supplied Remington case?

thank you
Patrick

Thank you Dave. I am hoping that someone with a Remington supplied trunk case will post a picture.

Still hoping someone will post some real photos of an actual Remington supplied Model R300 case like the one in the advertisement that Researcher provided.

Thank you

The box that holds George's gun was made by his father, and fitted out by Mike Messina.
