Craig thank you for the pictures of the gun sleeves. Green felt is an odd material, as TPS describes the sleeve material for high grade guns as "chamois", which I take to be a fawn colored high quality cotton flannel. For lower grade guns, a coarse weave olive brown green cotton material was used. They had fold over tops with string ties ( not drawstrings). I have seen one high grade with the original chamois sleeves .

The green felt may be replacement sleeves rather than originals. Does anybody have any insight on this or have green felt sleeves been seen before?
