What Colour were the 4.7" guns painted? Whilst I'm thinking of it, what Colour where Boer guns painted. TIA |

Good question Based on what I could find would speculate that 4.7"' were light grey carriage black iron barrel Boer guns were dark grey

I seem to remember reading somewhere that they were painted a khaki color of some sort but I can't find my reference. |
