    hand painted label

    Some clever bugger, probably a sign writer painted this in the lid of a purpose built case...

    Just snagged a canvas trunk rifle case, green felt interior and leather straps. Should fit the 58 to within 1/2 inch so should look almost custom made. We will see when it arrives. Should be interesting trying to find German accessories? Wonder if there are German oil cans? Only accessory so far:

    Second choice better Diana but weak text?

    I wouldn't age it in Photoshop. Print it clean and then age accordingly.

    As above,
    And I’d say top label looks perfect for a presentation case. Bottom one looks more like an advert or poster.

    Cheers,

    Another thought for case label, trim the Arabic script, I like the tie to the military history of the 58?
