I'm just trying to be exact in our description of pattern welded barrels. We know John Blaze made Damascus barrels for D.B. Wesson 1867-1870, both Crolle
and another he labeled Laminated Steel
Another Wesson and it is clearly Corche
and it is quite similar to "The Gold Towel' guy's 1878 Gr. 4 Lifter and the last gun you posted above
Were the tubes left over from the D.B. Wesson supply, or made by John Blaze for Parker after Dan Wesson shut down his shotgun production in December 1870?
Despite the "Laminated Steel" mark however, the pattern is
not what Birmingham, Liege or Ferlach would call Laminated Steel.
This Back Action Lifter barrel really
IS Laminated Steel and the tubes (butt-welded together) are slightly different
But "Parker Bros. Laminated Steel" is fine by me.
Remington called it "Ohonon 6 S.T." and I have no idea how they came up with that. There was a Thonon Liege maker but I haven't found an Ohonon
