Damascus Barrels
Not wanting to hijack Jerry's thread, viewers may be interested in these. The first three photos are of C's with fine Damascus, both made about 1904. The one on the left is original finish, the right one refinished by Brad Bachelder.
The last two are of an 1885 G Hammer 16, SN 45, 901 . All barrel Damascus segments are matched and it is difficult to find butt seams. See for yourself about spiral matching between adjoining barrels. The barrels are original finish.
