Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Interesting cased set

This sold recently on an auction site (I didn't buy it), but thought it was interesting.

The gun is early 1940, 6 years after they last catalogued a combination kit.

The case... is VERY close to the late Winship cases, but differs in slight ways.

Is this a leftover late case that Savage sold? Is it a put together kit? Is it an aftermarket case?

Latches and lock are very close to Winship case hardware, the handle brackets are totally different.

PS: And my wife, who is a certified fabric specialist, says the interior is washed out/faded felt. Looked like foam the first time I looked at it.
