Interesting cased set - 11/03/22
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.
