The Damascus, or should I say composite, barrels that I brought to Bill Moran for him to examine were a Parker GHE 16 with very fine pattern Damascus, a 12 gauge E Grade Lefever with quite large pattern Damascus, and a PH 12 gauge Parker with normal Twist Steel pattern. I thought this was a good variety for him to start his project. At the time I was discussing the Damascus project with him, he was proud of the belt buckle hideout knife he was building for "the government". I would love to have one of those belt buckle knives today. I'm sure it has been imitated by many makers.
