What do i have here?

This was my grandfather's, maybe his from the war (WWII). What was it for? Sunglasses in for size reference.

Was he a paratrooper? The big one looks like a Thompson SMG case if I’m thinking guns. But it looks kind of small too with the sunglasses there.

Not military, looks like for maybe a over/ under separated into 2 pieces or such.

That's my guess too. A case for a takedown shotgun or rifle.

 

[Cochise]

its a shotgun case. for a side by side. Not worth much but cool. Did you get the gun it goes with too?

Not military as others have said, but it's still old and really cool. I'd recommend treating that leather with some leather conditioner. It's pretty dry and cracked but probably salvageable.

Hmm, he doesn't have a sxs, but he did have a Remington model 12 that is considered a take down. I wonder if the SN matches the stamp on the leather

 

[Cochise]

Its a common for the time case for a breakdown gun so it could be for the Remington, most of the cases were marked for barrel length.
It wouldn't have come from Remington but might have come from the shop that sold it with the Remington.
I have a very similar case made by Brauer Brothers of St Louis and the manufacturers label says Pump or Double Barrel Shotguns Barrel Length 26"

Number on case does not match gun, but I will check for barrel length. You guys are awesome!

AR7/AR9... Something along those lines?

Yes for a shotgun I inherited one from my grandfather and the side pouch is for shotgun ammo which is why it is so wide.
