Brass & Leather
Rifle or Shotgun Motorcase. This lovely shotgun motor or rifle case is constructed of grained leather covered wood with a solid brass corners, lock and "D" rings.
The catch works, unfortunately, the lock is missing its' key.The leather over the hinges at the back is solid and the lid is well attached. The handle is firmly attached and feels solid. The anchor points are present and well attached, however, the straps are missing.
The waxed cotton stitching appears to be in good order.
The grained leather has developed a fabulous patina and depth of colour over the years, however, it does have the scuffs, marks and scratches that you would expect from a well used item of this age and use.
I have tried to show the condition in the photographs.
The lid is embossed with the original owners initials.The interior has a dark red baize lining, this has some scuffs and staining.
The trade label is missing.
The case measures 83 cm (32 3/4 inches) long and is 22 cm (8 3/4 inches) wide. It is 9 cm (3 1/2 inches) deep, externally.Internally, the barrel length to the stops is 68 cm (26 3/4 inches), the lenghth of the case intrnally is 79.5 cm (31 inches) and the stock length is 53 cm (21 inches).This case is just so evocative of a time and a lifestyle.
