When you talk to leather experts, there is always a lot of "OMG" etc. Well leather is organic and has been found intact in 2000 year old tombs. Here is a 1890 thereabouts leather rug from India north of Bombay in Gujarat which I got in Karachi in 1977...there is no other example known and has been previously understood only by descriptions. I took this rug to several leather specialists including the Smithsonian 35 years ago. I haven't had a coherent or consistent explanation on the survivability of leather yet. I would welcome some leather specialists' opinions on this thread.

I was interested in reading this post as some have stated these cases as having some type of stampings on them. I got this one in 1967 while in the service in Germany. The fellow that ran the gun club was a retired Sargent Major and tried to get you the best prices. I believe I paid $35.00 for this case. There are no markings on it anywhere. I bought it to ship home a Winchester 101 20 gauge when they first came out. I paid $166.85 and still have it with all the literature.
