Did you buy a newly made case? Can I ask where, how much?

I bought 2 "all leather" cases from Jeff's Outfitters as "close-outs", when he went out of business. They were listed as "defective" because the stock compartment was made too small for a standard size double rifle stock. He had 4 available of which I bought only 2. I wish I would have bought all 4. Retail was $650 each, but close-out price was $120 each. I cased this Scherping double rifle with one case, and my Rigby Needle-Gun Rook Rifle with the other case.

Same for the label, where did you acquire it?

I always make case labels when I case a rifle. I search the internet for an example and make a copy. If no examples can be found, I create one, like I did for this rifle. I searched the internet and I found the Scherping family crest, and then I used the engraving that is on the gun's locks, to create a label. Then I print it on special parchment paper just like original labels.

I've two Jeffery's, a Westley Richards and a Cogswell and Harrison to case. The cases are probably out of my price range. Labels not!

Very nice rifle and case. It will be a pleasure for you to shoot. You have so many excellent choices.

There are lots of 9.3x72R rifles, combinations around usually at much better prices due to its marginal old BP power factor. It will be good to see what your reloading efforts result at.
