In reply to:
Hollis (not to be confused with A. Hollis!) was primarily a gun trade military contractor and manufacturer of "trade quality" shotguns for the British Colonies - just about every Australian would have an uncle or grandfather that had a Hollis (or Cashmore etc) under the bed or behind the wardrobe.
Yep, got one, an old clanker hammer damascus barrelled double in 12 gauge.
Grew up using it before I worked out and told my Father what damascus barrels are. Still shoot it occaisonally with 2 1/2" light loads. Hopefully it is safe enough to do that.
