The 20ga is 1.50 wide across the cheeks of the stock, just behind the frame. It is about 1.86 tall at the frame.

Thanks for taking those measures Bob. I have to say it is probably a 12 gauge. Thanks for your help

Browning never cataloged a two gun case for two SxS's in any catalog that I have.-Dick

Another little known bit of Browning trivia is that in the 1979 or 1980 Catalog, Browning introduced a Leather, hard, breakdown shotgun case. The Brass locks are marked FN and there is a oval plaque on the back that States Browning, made in Poland. It will hold up to a 30" barrel and works for either an O/U or SxS.
Jimmy Carter threatened to embargo items made in Poland in the last months of this term and the cases were discontinued and never made again.
