Hello Fellow Forum Members,

I have an update - I found a very nice Vintage Hard Case for my Vintage Verney Carron .475 No.2 NE Double rifle. It appeared on Ebay a few months back with a "make-an-offer" option, so last week I made an offer that the seller accepted. He told me that the case had belonged to his Father and that the gun it contained was sold long ago. His Father's initials are on the top. He said the case was from the 1920's or 30's so that period fits the date of my VC rifle. In addition, the case was "French" with an original "Gastinne Renette" - "Paris" label. I don't know anything about him, but when I "Googled" the name, I found several photos of some find guns that he produced.

As I've done with many other vintage cases, I reconfigured the inside to fit the VC rifle. I even added an original "VC" label to dress it up a bit.
