GBS Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 I am in the process of restoring an old Dickson BLE and am after a leather or canvas & leather shotgun case suitable for a 29" side by side. It needs to be period correct for a 1923 gun. I'm happy with wear and tear and marks but don't want any damage/broken parts. Thanks, GBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 I will send a picture tomorrow. I have something that may suite being correct for the period requested. £37 plus postage which I'd guess at about £12 via Parcelforce 48. Or collect from near J21 of the M1 use postcode LE9 2AL.

enfieldspares Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Here is the case. Which, my apologies, appears that it is likely in fact a hammer gun case. It would accommodate barrels of 30" to just under 31". I have taken some pictures. Personally I don't think it is for you. The lock is one of those that can be locked both by key (which it no longer has) and by turning the round "collar" ninety degrees so as to lock the case, as it were, but without using a key. Anyhow here are the pictures. If it were my project I do however think if you relined it with new fabric and addressed the two leather straps it'd be a nice case: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not quite what I’m after. Without being rude (hopefully!) I’m after something of slightly better quality. Say Brady type case as a minimum.
