Summary
Gun case - brown leather case for shotgun. There is a leather handle on the top mounted on 2 brass 'D' rings, either side on the top there are similar rings for a shoulder strap and another on the 'nose' of the case. There is a circular brass lock on the right corresponding to a brass latch on the hinged lid, these are in turn covered with a leather strap which is fixed to the lid, is shaped to cover the lock when the lid is closed, and fits into a buckle on the body of the case. The inside is covered in green felt and is in two compartments, one for the stock and one for the barrel.
