Pretty excited. Picked up first year browning case in what looks to be great condition with its 1929 grade 2 (not so great condition)16ga today.
Bought the pair for what my case restoration was going to cost.
Guess I will be selling a grade 2 and a beat up first year case soon. I just wanted the case. I have only seen three of these 2 latch blue lined cases now in 20 plus years
Will share pics when it arrives.

Congrats. I was watching that and just about jumped in at the end. Glad I didn’t, I would have been upset if I was running up the price on you

I’m finally picking up straight stock gun from art next week. It’s supposed to be ready but haven’t got prototype back yet.
This grade 2 that came with its 1929 case is nice but needs engraving touched up, a leather pad, wood refinish and rust blue. This one was converted to 70mm.
Probably 1200.00 in work and would be 2250-2500.00 gun. I already have a grade 2 that I love.

I have a rough first year case with 2 barrel space(special order) that I was going to restore but then I found this one. I have a pic of 1 other first year case and I own the only other 2 I have seen. I doubt I will get a chance to buy another.

I believe I’m going to have a prewar 16 a5 case colored soon but want to get all these guns back first.
I think a cch receiver with blue screws, magazine stop lever and trigger guard will look pretty cool.

I still need a grade II but I would like it to be 2-9/16. Let me know when you are ready to sell that straight stock

If I sell the straight stock gun I will call you first. Or email
But I hope one of you guys bought this grade 2 here a month or so ago on gunbroker it’s the nicest one I have ever seen!


It went for 2400.00 or so but was worth every penny
Amazing engraving, rather have that than grade 3!

Wow the case came in amazing and with some extras


Leather looks to be ostrich no rips interior cleaned up like new.
But the paperwork sure makes me smile Very Happy

Yep, if you bought it. Darne cases are a little bit specific. I’ve owned a few.

Best,
Ted

That’s perfection. What year is that straight stock?
