I have been observing case colors on English guns for awhile now. I have seen very little originals, but several lately that have been redone. Blues and grays seem to predominate, with no red and/or straw colors.
I want to have a I. Hollis recased at some time in the near future, but would like to have it done as near right as possible. Am I on the right track about the absence of red and straw in the English colors, or is it coincidence that all I have seen have been predominately blue and gray?
Sure would like to hear from someone who might know what the colors looked like on a late 1890s I. Hollis damascus gun.
