My late father received a new Model 12- 20 gauge on his birthday in 1931--came in a canvas and leather two-pc. WRA case, with the side compartment for the 3 pc. wooden rod- leather straps for closing both sections- marked 30 on the end cap leather.
My guess is, back then, many hunters traveled by train, so LOM or other break-down cases were more commonly found. He gave me that shotgun on my 14th birthday- still have it, still shoots like all the good pre-1960 Winchesters do-given proper care. RWTF😀
