Perfect! The Purdey looks great in the vintage case. Any idea who "C.K.S." was?

Be still, my foolish heart!
Every time I opened that case, my heart would pause, and I would have to (quietly of course; as Gentlemen make no fanfare) catch my breath.

Tony, if you just happen to come across another case with the same lable then please let me know. I have a gun of similar vintage but with a thumb hole opening mechanism made in 1869. A case would just be the job for it. Thanks. Lagopus.....

Tony - am sure it has been said before, but that stock is simply superb on an already wonderful gun. Am showing my ignorance here so forgive me, but assuming it is a restock, where did such a lovely piece of wood come from?

Just gorgeous.
I love the face on the lion - very expressive. The whole label just screams "mid-19th century!"
