ROMAC:
FWIW, I picked up a 10 gauge I. Hollis hammer gun that is a near perfect copy of the one in the thread you referenced, save for a slightly different engraving pattern (dogs and birds as well as fine scroll) at a local gun shop in the last 6 months. Near perfect browning and wood finish, and about 30-35% case colors. Dated from the same era as the one you are looking at. I'm almost positive it was a W.C. Scott, either finished by Hollis or simply marked with his name. Mine was priced at $1500 and I got it for substantially less.
Very nice guns, a bit heavy as a game gun at 8 pounds 4 ounces, but a quite satisfactory waterfowler, albeit expensive to shoot, with RST's Nice Shot 2-7/8 inch shells.
