Hi, Can anyone tell me about this 2 gun SxS case I have? It is marked: Abercrombie & Fitch Co. New York Made in London Any idea how old it is? Who was the maker? Everything works and I have 1 key, but there are 2 small pieces of felt lined wood loose in it, I'm guessing used as spacers when needed. Thanks

A known vendor of oak & leather shotgun cases for A&F in the 1930's was Bryant – a well known English leather goods maker.
While IDK abut your case, Bryant's as good a place of any to start your voyage of discovery.
HAPPY NEW YEAR !

As others have said, the case was made by Bryant, sometime in the late 1920s/1930s. I don’t see many 2-gun Bryant cases, especially in the condition yours is in. Very nice.

Thanks Again.
I did some searching on the internet and not much comes up about the original Bryant company, but you can find plenty of Bryant leather wallets and backpacks from designers like Michael Kors. There are also several pieces of leather furniture with Bryant models.
I'm guessing this is a nod to the original Bryant Co and the quality of the work they did.

Are you considering selling this case? It is certainly a very nice case. Do you happen to have the length of the case?

I wasn't planning on selling the case, I don't really have a good idea of its true value. The case was designed for two SxSs with 30" barrels. 12 gauge snap caps fit snugly into the case. Here are some more pics with guns in the case. The boxlock has 30" barrels and the hammer gun has 29.5" barrels. Both are 12 gauge:
