Sandlapper,
I sent you text message with a photo of a Wm Ford gun box label that I have. It might be unused or a really good reproduction. I had my eye on a beautiful Wm Ford 26" BLNE in England. I just could never get the deal done. Bought the label just in case I got the gun. It's yours if you want it.
I expect to see you at the Southern SxS next month. If you want to look at English maker's cases that may fit the Ford, please let me know. I have many that need refitting, rebuild and/or restoration. Most are for 30" guns. I have a few that are for 26" guns. It should be an easy modification to 25". I am not planning on bringing cases to the Southern, so let me know.
Joe in Charlotte
