As I try to downsize getting ready for a move I have a lot of best gun cases I've saved up over the years. I think roughly 20 hard cases and 5-6 soft leg-o-mutton cases.
Prices vary from $150 for european made post war cases to $700 for 1960-era new old stock Brady cases made in England all the way up to $1500-$1800 for oak and leather best double rifle cases for Jeffery and Holland doubles. Many cases include maker's labels worth $50-$500 in them.
The favor I ask of the readers as I tried to sell some of these previously, please respect my time. If you say to me the gun case of a known established price "must fit my purple and blue polkadot purdey with trapazoidal stock of two cubits" and I measure the damned cases up down and sideways and its a perfect match sending you pictures and providing phone consulting, you can't say "hmm, let me think about it some more". I remember burning about 6 hours on two AH members with loads of pictures and photos that we concluded were absolutely exactly the correct fit and era for their very odd guns and they decided they didn't want them anyway. Just be reasonable with my time dedicated trying to help you and I'll make sure you're getting a case that will work.
Some of the highlights:
Purdey motor case for a pair of 20 bores.
Jeffery Oak & Leather case for a circa 1910 333 Jeffery Flanged Double Rifle
Holland & Holland Oak & Leather case with leather maker's label for a 1930 era 375HH Flanged Double Rifle
Leather and Canvas turn of the century rook rifle case (moritmer label affixed)
New Old Stock Canvas and Leather small bore SxS cases from 1960 (one with a Greener/Scott maker's label)
New Old Stock Leather Brady Cases from about 1960 for an OU or SxS that can easily fit double rifles. (three of them)
Circa 1900 English Leather lightweight safari case. (probably for a hammer rifle originally)
Inexpensive English Shotgun case in canvas for a SxS with a Bombay retailer's label from 1930-1940
New Old Stock Pigskin English Pair Case with brass corners
A french or belgian shotgun or double rifle case in leather from 1960-1980 (VC or Chapuis label)
1970s Spanish shotgun case with embossed ostrich hide. ( I think its embossed? small chance its real)
Loads of leg-o-mutton cases in various states of need of refurbishment but they are cheap and charming
