Gonna look good when the inside is blocked and lined. Kind of thing Hemmingway or Teddy Roosevelt would have had to accompany him for some ratting on a fishing trip.

Sorry but it don't look like a case to put a Webley Service for me. much to modern looking. try converting an old Brady shotgun case more in keeping.l have done a few. but a nice find that Service over there.

Does not do it for me...too much like a coffin for a Christian funeral....
But, if you are happy, enjoy....

Instead of compartments and felt I’m thinking of using gray foam like a modern case, that should really loose you guys. But easy and maximum protection.

That's what i would do, but make sure you get the right type, some break up with age & can stick to the metalwork, i like the case, nice bit of woodworking.Originally Posted by 45flint

In my opinion, to compliment the age of the rifle, the case should be lined with either red or blue baize, and fittings, also covered in baize, plus a strap, should be installed to hold the rifle, barrels and accessories securely, so nothing can be damaged when carried, and a Webley label should be affixed to the inner lid.
I'm not keen on foam for holding rifles/pistols in cases as it can be affected by oil, and as someone has already pointed out, it can stick to metalwork.

Made by a company in the US just for gun cases. Great stuff, easy to cut and is firm to hold gun. The case is modern I’m not sure a period style inside actually would look right either. This foam is max protection with minimal effort? Here it is with English Hy-Score replacing rotted orginal.
