Lot 1118:
Embossed Hunting Scene Gun Guard Vintage Hard Rifle Case
Description
This is a vintage hard-shell firearm carrying case, likely designed for a rifle or shotgun, manufactured from molded tan plastic with a textured faux-reptile or crocodile skin finish. The case features an aluminum frame and is secured by four metal latches. A textured gray plastic handle is centrally located at the top. The front exterior is decorated with an integral, high-relief embossed diamond-shaped panel depicting a traditional hunting scene with two pointing dogs, a bird in flight, and stylized scrolling foliage at the points. A small rectangular embossed mark centered above the hunting scene reads “GUN GUARD” in capital letters. To the far right of the embossed scene is a small triangular mark containing the letters “DH”. The interior is fully lined with gray convoluted “egg-crate” style foam padding.
Condition report:
The case shows signs of moderate use and age. The exterior exhibits several dark streaks, rub marks, and surface scuffs (photo 1). The metal latches and hinges show visible oxidation and surface rust (photo 4). The interior gray foam is intact but shows areas of yellowed discoloration and compression consistent with age and previous storage (photo 4). No structural cracks or significant losses to the plastic shell are observed in the provided photographs.
