Winchester 15W32 'Leg o Mutton' case

[budrichard]

These cases are rather rare and 15W signifies a single barrel case and 32 of course is the barrel length. These cases are a nice way to carry your Model 21 in style, noting that VR rib guns do not fit, at least in my experience.

Dick,

Thanks for posting the pictures...though I realize this is over 3 years old :D

Do you know who manufactured these for Winchester? Surely they didn't make them in house. Also, where on the case is the Winchester name stamped?

Lastly, any recommendations for a good leather smith to restore/repair an old case?

Thanks,

BB45C

I will have to get the case and look for exactly where stamped Winchester.
I carried by 32" duck in it once but setting up a double in the dark before opening is not something I want to do every time so I carry my doubles in a full slip case.-Dick
BTW a VR 32" would not fit maybe because of the rib or the fact that it had a shadow line cheek piece?-Dick
