E. M. Reilly Gun Case questions #335925 08/26/13 11:15 PM

OP gordon g Sidelock Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 142 Northern California	I've had this E.M. Reilly case hanging around in the garage for years and now I think I'm going to try my hand at restoring it. As you can see, the leather is shot but the wood is in pretty good shape and all the hardware is there. I have a couple of questions. 1. I just noticed that the handle is positioned on the back of the case, on the hinge side. I don't think I've ever seen one that didn't have the handle on the front. Is this common? 2. Does anyone have an idea what the partial label on the bottom of the case was from? Thanks gordon Gordon If you don't fly first class, your heir's will!

The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!

I too believe that it is a shipping label. Best Regards, George To see my guns go to www.mylandco.com Select "SPORTING GUNS " My E-Mail palmettotreasure@aol.com
