I just got ready my latest work. It contains total renovation of my clients old Purdey gun case, both inner and outer sides. Only carrying handle, all fittings, box frames, room dividers and makers label are original. Leather and wool baize are new assembled and makers label cleaned and repaired. This very dark area on lid exists when I oiled learher surfaces. I have tested every means and gimmicks but it seems that it will stay. Probably some kind of error with tanning process.

The shotgun is 16 cal Purdey with interesting grip safety and nice brown damascus barrels. Here is some photos of case and shotgun:
