If I'm not mistaken, the original case would have been two cases--one for the bell and one for the body. But your numbering has me a little confused. The 26J should be a bell-front 4-valve front-action instrument; the 25J is the bell-up top-action version. If yours is a 4-valve front-action bell-up version, it would be a 27J. Or maybe I'm wrong--Rob P.M. could tell for sure.
But I don't think even the big Walt Johnson case would fit the horn with the bell mounted. If you're looking for either the standard case or a custom-made single-piece version, you might want to give the folks at Badger State Supply a call at 414-723-4062. Taylor Music in Aberdeen ND, might also have a set of cases to fit: 1-800-USA-BAND.
