OK, I'll guess 1928 30-30 on the rifle. LOL
Isn't the case just a generic leg-o-mutton case available for various applications? Nice shape all the way around!

Betting it's period correct to the gun, but I don't think it's one that Savage sold. Here's the 1928 cases from the catalog, and I've seen a couple cases that match their case. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/LO5hKa8l.png)

Based on barrel length, I’m guessing the case was designed for a double barrel shotgun.
