Ray,
I believe there are two standards when judging percentage of case colors. One is used by sellers and one is used by buyers. If I were looking to purchase your gun, percentage of case colors would be the last thing I would be looking at. The wood and engraving along with those beautiful Damascus barrels would consume all my attention. It seems to me that guns with a lot of engraving tend to loose color faster than a VH. Besides, when the only CC remaining is down in the engraving cuts, I think it highlights rather than hides the real beauty of the guns engraving.
