Wingshooter,
I wish you a Happy Holiday in spite of your hardship. Hopefully the repairs will be done soon.

They are estimating 8 months. The house has to be completely gutted.
Thanks for all the kind thoughts.

[img:left]   I have had this case for a number of years and never used it. Branded by Winchester and was told it probably was for a Mod 21. 26in barrel length. As clean on the inside as out. I never saw any other Win. case like it. Has anyone else? fair value ? Thanks

As a decent LOM, probably $200-$250. But, since it says “Winchester” on it, no less than $19,000.
Best,
Ted

I've seen them on ebay can't recall what they sold for.
At one time when I had almost gOne vintage crAzy I had a Holland Sport, a couple of Mulhollands and I had a 32" I bought from Lewis and Drake. All were high quality leather and construction in like new or new condition.
I wouldn't give a plug nickle for an old worn, dried out leg O lamb case been there did that more than once.

I really like LOM cases. They are compact, sturdy, and look nice. But they are dirt traps. I often have my guns in them for the trip but when in the hunting area put them in a soft full length slip. Ever so often I stick the nozzle of my power vac in them to remove as much dirt as possible (I’m in dry, dusty, Texas.).

I agree completely about the old, dried, beat up ones.Plus they are completely torn up inside.

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😀

Very nice photos and the shotguns aren't too shabby either. Does the hammer gun have a single trigger- may I ask- what gauge and make. The other shotgun looks a bit like an Ithaca Flues model- am I correct with this guess? Thanks- RWTF
