I'm wondering if anyone can approximately date this by the label?

My wife agrees, James. First thing she said was, "Oh great! Another gun case!".
I'm a pretty lucky guy.

I'm curious to know what was in the case...

Steve, there was a nice can of Rangoon oil, a vintage Hoppes 9 bottle in its box, pull through, mops, and a Merkel 147 EL.
Our friend Cowtown Bill has a nice Harrods-branded SLE w/o a case but barrels are too long for this one so that's a shame.

I'm "gunning" for a better solution---the label itself would be a keepsake, presuming it can be safely removed.

Why not send an e-mail to Harrod's? They still sell everything although it's owned by Qatar now.

I just did a quick Google search and it appears that Harrod's have been at the Brompton Road site since about 1900.
My Harrod's 12 ga SLE has "Harrod's London" on the barrels, but no address.
