Default Original Parker hard case

I see many Parker Reproduction guns in beautiful leather cases. They obviously came from factory with case. But, Did older Parkers have the option for a factory case? I can honestly say I have not ever (knowingly) seen one in an original factory hard case. I have seen many Parkers in a case but was wondering if those were Parker cases or aftermarket cases of the day?

Default two barrel sets

Of the 242,000 or so guns made by Parker Bros. does anyone have any idea how many were two barrel sets ?

I think that number might be higher Dean. I have two and have sold at least three others.

Original two-barrel sets - not later add-ons?

I wasn't referring to add-ons.
