Had a bit of time at the end of a very hot day in the workshop so fitted labels to a couple of relined cases that had been waiting for a final detail or two.
The case pictured is an old trunk-style leather & brass which I have lined to take the 1866-67 RUL Stephen Grant hammergun that I have.
It was a bit of a challenge as barrels and action could not share the same level and neither could the action go vertical as in a double motor case. Eventually I set upon making a hollow box section support at each end to support the barrels just below the lid whilst the stock & action rest in block-work at the bottom.
The label is a digital repro of an original 1/2 size label that I found in another small case. Oil bottle is fitted in its own compartment under the LH lid and antique 2p ebony and brass cleaning rod is captive in its own blocking and a slot in the LH box section.
Only the 40th that Grant made after setting up on his own, the gun is lovely with great engraving and the rib address marked as '67 1/2' rather than the usual '67a'!
