400NE,

My ignorance is pretty shocking; in fact, something of an embarrassment. Just be glad you don't have to endure my heavy burden!

Clark,

There's your answer. I was right. The case is original to the rifle.

I'm off to the internet, shopping for a book. Need to catch up on some reading. . .

Thanks for the tip, 400NE.

P.S.

Wow! The two preceding posts appeared while I was fiddling around with this post and doing a search for the book. What great information, guys! Does this mean I get to meet the queen????????

Again, thanks,
Curl
