And the overall, the strap keepers on the back are the dark colour and the strap keeper on the front matches the dark colour i used for the repair, maybe the lighter colour is original and the darker were previous repairs, the light keeper has reminants of a dark brown paint? force matching after the repair ?

Well done
LOTS of hours and love went into this
Is the 12 Bore Greener rifled? and do you use
brass casings?

It is but i have not taken chamber casts yet, not sure if brass or paper,
Will begin reloading adventures when the gun is finally imported.
