Problem is not so many were made because many of the early guns were longer barrels so you don't see many older ones floating around. I picked up a 26 inch Folsum Leg o mutton case in OK condition and figured I would upgrade. That was about 15 years ago, you just can't find the small ones. I'm lucky to have that one. If you have one and want to sell it my email is in my profile. I think so many of the companies just made the 28 inch to fit either the 26 inch or the 28 inch guns.
