doubleriflejack - be careful with the colours. Nowadays, the colours tend to be bolder, brighter and lack the subdued elegance of the older rifles and shotguns- imho, of course. For comparrison, look at & appreciate the beautiful, softer toned colours on Curl's rifle. Coould be just a personal thing, I admit.
