Very nice. Is that stub twist?

Just appeared on e-bay and looks to illustrate the same pattern

No Mills, they are "Plain Twist"

Here's a set of GH barrels also finished by Dale. I love the way the rib turned out.

Mike: Despite the rib marking, I believe your barrels are Damascus-Twist

How would one ever know his barrels were Damascus Twist when Parker Bros. only ever marked them Twist, Plain Twist, and Stub Twist?

It would be clear if by chance an 'end-on' ribband is seen where tube segments were joined

Here is a ribband on the same barrels

Drew I was wondering if you saw the pic in the post before this of the ribband? Can you tell if the barrels are damascus twist?

Yes Mike, I believe it is. The edges of the Twist iron & steel alternees are 'mushroomed' by mechanical deformation/hammering.
